Courses by Rabbi Dr. Akiva Tatz:
I enjoyed very much and learned a lot about subjects I hadn’t even realized were controversial. Thank you Rabbi Tatz for sharing your wealth of knowledge in this complex and crucial area.
It was very good and enlightening. Being an RN, and having studied secular medical ethics, and nit knowing anything about Jewish Medical Ethics or Halacha, this was great. I realize that we just touched on some of the basics, but it was enough to let me know how to better respond from a Jewish perspective and especially where the secular differs. Being in the US, this last point has been very important for me.
The program is excellent. Rabbi Dr. Akiva Tatz holds the attention of the listener to the point that one sits at the edge of the seat in anticipation- waiting for the questions he poses and the subsequent answers. In two words: Awe Inspiring.
