Parallels Between the Torah and Our Modern Legal System
October 17, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
JCC Associate Justice Mark A. Davis of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, the first Jewish member of the court in its 200-year history, will be speaking about links between the Torah and our modern legal system. In his presentation, Justice Davis discusses the compatibility between the First Amendment and the Ten Commandments. He also explains how the structure of our modern court system derives from the Torah and how the process by which judges today analyze legal issues is based on Talmudic principles of interpretation. This event is co-presented by the JCC and UNCA Center for Jewish Studies. Email rochelle@jccavldev.wpengine.com for more information.
