JLI: Life in the Balance

Please join Lubavitch Chabad of
Skokie for our first Jewish Learning Institute course of the year: Life in the Balance. Modern
medicine has brought us near miracles. It's also brought us some of the most
difficult decisions we'll ever have to face. Are we obliged to prolong life
even at the cost of terrible suffering? Should we legalize the sale of organs,
such as kidneys, to save the lives of transplant patients? May a woman with a
multiple-fetus pregnancy opt for fetal reduction, thus forfeiting the lives of
some to possibly save others? When it seems that every available option is
morally questionable, how do we decide? More intriguing than any fictional TV
show, this course will prepare you for choices that you or a loved one may be
called upon to make. It is also a fascinating exposure to little-discussed
aspects of Judaism.

This course will
meet every Thursday and Sunday for six weeks starting Sunday, October 27th,
2013 with the last class ending on December 15th, 2013. Thursday and
Sunday morning classes will be occurring from 10:30am -12:00pm and Thursday
night classes will occur from 8:00pm-9:30pm. 

This
course is approved for nine (9) hours of regular MCLE credits or ETHICS credits;
there is an extra $100 fee for these credits. This course will also be
available for CME and CE credits for an additional fee.

The class fee of
$100 includes tuition and textbook, some scholarships available. Please call
