Discuss the views related to modern Jewish ethics.
What will be an ideal response?
In the modern period, Jewish ethics sprouted many offshoots—due to developments in modern secular ethics and to the formation of Jewish branches—each of which required clarity on ethical teachings. The nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century Reform movement promoted the idea of Judaism as pure ethical monotheism. Since about 1900, liberal Reform and Reconstructionist rabbis have fostered novel approaches to Jewish ethics—in the work of Eugene Borowitz, for example. Also during this time, Orthodox rabbis have often engaged in applied ethics by interpreting the Talmud for bioethics: end-of-life issues, in vitro fertilization, genetic therapy, and other topics.
