SUMMARY:Money Matters - 6 week course
LOCATION:Rabbi's House, 90 Marmion Ave. 
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Fascinating Facts: Exploring the Myths and Mysteries of Judaism\n \n       
                  Register            \n\n\n            Money Matters will p
 resent Judaism’s approach to practical economic dilemmas and monetary quand
 aries that we face daily in both our personal and professional lives.\n    
         The goal of this course is to provide a sensitive, fair, and unshak
 able economic paradigm grounded in 3,000 years of tradition and practical e
 xperience—an ancient yet fresh spin on how we view ethics of money. \n     
        Students will emerge from this course with an understanding that onl
 y a divine economic system can ensure unequivocal justice while recognizing
  the virtue in each stakeholder’s position. Money Matters will show how the
  Torah’s sharply discerning yet holistic rulings inspire us with the confid
 ence to confront any ethical economic dilemma.\n             \n            
 \n\n             Course Overview\n            \n                           
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
              Hot Tips: The Ethics of Insider Trading                       
               Information is a valuable commodity--this fact has been made 
 clear by recent stories of high-profile prosecutions on insider trading cha
 rges. But is it fair to require companies to make information readily avail
 able to people who did not expend the time, effort, and money to attain it?
  Can stealing or misusing information be likened to property theft? How do 
 we set up markets which ensure that risk is apportioned fairly? In this les
 son, we will compare and contrast what American law and Jewish law have to 
 say on the subject.                                                        
                                                                            
                                           By the Sweat of Their Brows: Wage
 s of the Working Poor                                     While a lucky few
  go home with millions, many more return home in poverty. What is the best 
 way to solve the problem of the "working poor"? Should employers be obligat
 ed to pay their employees the minimum hourly income necessary for a worker 
 to meet basic needs? This lesson will explore this hotly debated issue from
  both the angle of Jewish law, as well as from the perspective of "going be
 yond the letter of the law"--a central pillar of Jewish business ethics.   
                                                                            
                                                                            
                     Morally Bankrupt? The Ethics of Debt Discharge         
                             In times of old, when a debtor was not able to 
 repay his debts, he was sold as a slave or thrown into prison. Today, we ha
 ve bankruptcy laws that protect individuals from this fate. But is it ethic
 al to borrow without repaying? If someone earns the money later in life, sh
 ould they be obligated to repay their settled debts? This lesson explores t
 he Jewish legal perspective on bankruptcy, emphasizing how we can incorpora
 te secular local laws and customs into Jewish law.                         
                                                                            
                                                                          St
 ate of the Union: The Right to Organize, to Bargain Collectively, and to St
 rike                                     The controversy over union rights 
 is recurrently strewn across U.S. headlines. What does Jewish law have to s
 ay about whether workers should have the right to unionize and bargain coll
 ectively? And does it matter whether they are public- or private-sector emp
 loyees? Should the right to strike be granted, despite the harm it can caus
 e to society? Does the type of industry make a difference? This lesson will
  present the Talmud's enlightening spin on unionization, collective bargain
 ing, and strikes.                                                          
                                                                            
                                         Fabulously Wealthy or Filthy Rich? 
 The Ethics of CEO Compensation                                     In the r
 ecent economic downturn, much fury has arisen from reports that CEOs of Ame
 ricas biggest companies take grand bonuses and huge salaries. Is it morally
  wrong to seek extravagance? Are those who criticize their good fortune jus
 t jealous, or is their disgust valid? This lesson will discuss some of the 
 moral problems related to CEO compensation, including some conflicts of int
 erest.                                                                     
                                                                            
                              Buyer Aware: Another Side to Business Ethics  
                                    Let's be honest: who isn't looking for a
  bargain? On the other hand, how often do we question the ethics of our dea
 l-seeking? Can we move to more expensive vacant seats at a ball-game? Is th
 ere anything wrong with engaging a sales person with questions about a prod
 uct when we have little or no intention of buying it there? This eye-openin
 g lesson addresses various scenarios relating to the average market purchas
 e that most of us face daily.                                              
                                                                            
                                                                         \n\
