“Ethical Imperatives,” is a monthly blog in the Jewish Journal by rabbis and scholars of the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem. The Hartman Institute engages thinkers from across the religious and ideological spectrum in ongoing examinations of the significance of Jewish ideas to contemporary life.
