The Miami International Torah and Science Series

Free and open to the public. No pre-registration needed.

Since 1987 The Shul has brought scholars and rabbis together to explore the meeting of Torah and science, drawing on ethics, medicine, psychiatry, psychology, history and sociology. The conferences were founded by Rabbi Sholom D. Lipskar.

Starting with Torah and Science 15, the series moves to a new format: an annual program of three focused events on a single topic, each approached from a different specialty.
