Judaism, Repentance, and the Law

With - Rahmiel Drizin, JD

 

Course Objectives

This course explores the intersection of Judaism, repentance, and the legal system, examining how Jewish teachings can offer guidance, peace, accountability, and personal transformation while navigating justice and the path toward repentance.

 

The Facilitator:

Rahmiel Hayyim Drizin, JD was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and graduated from Pennsylvania State University in 1982.

He then came to the Midwest to attend Northwestern University School of Law, graduating with honors in 1985.

Following school, Rahmiel clerked for Chief Judge Walter Cummings of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and for Justice Joseph Gordon of the Illinois Appellate Court, First Division.

In the early 1990s he joined the Office of the Cook County Public Defender, where he spent nearly thirty years representing those convicted of crimes both on appeal and on post-conviction review.

Rahmiel retired from the Office in 2022 and was excited to begin assisting the HINDA Institute as Chair of the Lawyer Advisory Council, teaching classes, and doing chaplaincy work at Cook County Jail.
