In this interactive session, we will use Dani Shapiro’s memoir to discuss genetic testing and its impact on Jewish law. Case studies include of artificial insemination, bastardy, releasing women to remarry, inheritance, solving “cold cases” and identifying lost relatives. (NOTE: One need not have read the book to attend.)
