Convention 2013 – Continuing Professional Education (CPE)

Profession Focused Classes

FJMC is pleased to announce its line-up of profession focused classes at its 2013 Convention. At the last convention we were able to present classes directed to legal and medical interests. At this convention we have expanded the classes to include classes in financial fields. The classes are open to everyone but sure to be interesting and useful.  Our profession focused classes will be:

  • Brit Milah and Secular Law Challenges (legal, Medical) (presenter: Orin Rotman, JD) This class will concentrate on the tradition and process of Brit Milah and recent political and legal attempts to the practice under government control.
  • Is this Convention Deductible? (financial) (presenter Stuart Wald, CPA) This class will survey some of the intricacies of the IRS code to review different scenarios which might tend to support tax deductibility of expenses related to religious and work related expenses, as might occur participating in a convention such as this. For more information, please contact Orin Rotman,  Professional Continuing Education Chair at or*****@st*********.com.
  • Men Sex and Aging (medical) (presenter: Dan Pollets, PhD) This class will explore Aging and its accompanying losses that present profound challenges for men.
