Questions to consider:
- How do you understand Richman's claim that halakha can be seen as "a bridge between our lives and divine will"? Does framing it as a moment for "claiming agency" and "taking initiative" impact how you feel about this legal system?
- What might a "transformative relationship" between liberal autonomy and religious authority look like in your own life as a Jewish person?
- Where do you think Torah takes root and grows?
