Barry Scott Wimpfheimer - Charity in the Talmud: Religious Feelings and Macroeconomics

Professor Barry Scott Wimpfheimer, associate professor of religion and law at Northwestern University, presents his lecture "Charity in the Talmud: Religious Feelings and Macroeconomics" before an audience at Temple Kol Ami (www.templekolami.org/) in Scottsdale, AZ. ABOUT THIS LECTURE: The Talmud expresses its values and commitments through law and legal institutions. But legal rules and bureaucracy sometimes develop into static entities that stifle individual ethical imperatives. This lecture will discuss a talmudic passage about charity that tries to juggle these commitments.
