Join Dr. Yair Lorberbaum, Faculty of Law, Bar-Ilan University, for a conceptual analysis of halakhah as parable, drawing on Maimonides’ theory of allegorical interpretation and philosophical account of Jewish law. Attention will be given to the relevance of this method for contemporary discussions of halakhah and Jewish ethics.
