2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic presented some heart wrenching ethical dilemmas for doctors and front-line workers. Many such similar ethical problems have preoccupied our rabbis and sages for thousands of years. How can their wisdom and understanding help our society navigate these troubled times? Senior Rabbi Steven C. Wernick will discuss the Jewish approach to biomedical ethics and its perspective on the dilemmas presented by the current health crisis.
