In this interactive session, we follow the travails of the young couple Ruchami and Chanina from the Netflix series Shtisel (season three), as they navigate the challenges of medicine and assisted reproductive technologies. We will explore the ethics of abortion, contraception, surrogate motherhood, and risking one’s life to have children. There is no need to have ever watched the show to participate in this interactive discussion.
This lecture was delivered at the 15th annual National Jewish Retreat. For more information and to register for the next retreat, visit: Jretreat.com.
