A large part of Jewish observance is about having compassion and being non-judgmental. However, there are certain Jewish laws, specifically those concerning homosexuality and conversion, that seem to contradict these principles. This Thursday night, at 8:30PM EST, I'll be giving a lecture on WebYeshiva.org which will explore some possible resolutions to these ideas which are seemingly at odds with one another. (If you can't make it to the class live, you can see it in archives.)
