I thought Rabbi Reisner's lecture on Tuesday was very interesting and thought provoking. He spoke about issues that never really crossed my mind such as gays and lesbians and the way they are viewed within Judaism. I liked the idea that human dignity takes precidence over any Rabbinic law. I have always felt that Judasim has a rational, humanistic and natural way at viewing life and hearing that expressed through Rabbi Reisners examples solidified my feeling. To learn about the Committee of Jewish laws and standards was also something interesting. It made me think about the religion as an evolving and timeless entity.
