Cafe Chabad: Jews In Space

Surprisingly, Jews have had a significant role in “Space Ethics.” Space travel challenges us with unique situations that evoke unique ethical and bioethical issues. Dr. Wolpe, for the last fifteen years the Senior Bioethics Advisor to NASA, tells stories of being a Jew at NASA and explores some of the challenging ethical issues of long duration space flight to explore our solar system.

Featuring a gourmet Kosher-by-candlelight dinner.

Dr. Paul Root Wolpe is NASA’s Senior Bioethicist. His TED Talk has been viewed over 1 million times and he is a past winner of World Technology Network Awards in Ethics. He is the Candler Professor of Bioethics, Schinazi Professor of Jewish Bioethics, and Director of the Center for Ethics at Emory University, and the Editor-in-Chief of the American Journal of Bioethics Neuroscience.
