SHABBAT LUNCH: The Methodology of Miracles: Examining once-in-history events and our everyday lives through the lens of Science and Torah

s

Join Dr. Abrams as he discusses the concept of miracles from both a Torah and scientific perspective, and shows how these seemingly different fields approach these ideas in very similar ways.
