JLI Teens

Beginning in 2018, a su***de net will be installed along the perimeter of the Golden Gate Bridge, the location of dozens of su***des each year. This net will cost $211 million.

But does society have the right to interfere with people who
wish to end their lives?

You make the call.

COMING THIS FALL TO A CITY NEAR YOU!

Is saving someone’s life always the right thing to do? Is su***de prohibited under Jewish law? Should terminally ill patients be allowed to end their lives with dignity? What is the Torah’s position on abortions? In this course, you will examine news coverage of real life-and-death situations and be challenged to share your opinions on each case. Discover a different way of tackling life’s tough decisions as you learn what Judaism teaches us about these modern-day dilemmas.

Tonight and tomorrow is Pesach Sheni.
It was on this day that G-d gave the Jews the gift of ‘second chances’.
When the Jews who were ritually impure complained about missing an opportunity for the mitzvah of bringing a paschal sacrifice, G-d gave them this day, 14th of Iyar, a month later - the opportunity to make it up.
~~
It’s customary to eat matzah today to reflect on our opportunity for second chances.
