Jewish Law: Evolution or Revolution

Hosted By: London School of Jewish Studies (LSJS)

After almost 2000 years of exile from Israel, the Jewish people are sovereign again in the Holy Land. How does this historic reality impact on Jewish law. Was Jewish law fixed at Sinai or perhaps it was fixed with the codification of Rav Yosef Caro in the 16th century? The clash of an ancient legal code with a modern Jewish state needs to be explored in order to understand the past, present and future of the Jewish people.
