Judaism, Faith and Recovery (2005) (1:38:31)
Does a crisis destroy one’s life, or can it ultimately prove to have been a blessing in disguise and reveal things about a person that would have otherwise never been discovered? What are our religious obligations in trying to help ourselves medically; must it be within the natural order of the world or can we rely strictly on divine intervention? And is prayer about changing G-d's mind, or about changing ourselves and our perspective?

Healthcare Debate (1:10:31)
Why do we spend so much more on healthcare, per capita, than other developed countries? Why do we achieve worse outcomes on several important measures than countries that spend far less? Why do we spend up to twice as much per person as countries that provide universal coverage, while leaving as many as fifty million Americans without insurance? This session takes a brutally honest look at Jewish legal writings on the right to medical care, comparing them to recent legislation in the US, and viewing Jewish law as a model for healthcare reform
