Maintaining Peaceful Relations
Darchei Shalom (דרכי שלום) is a powerful principle calling for numerous halachic leniencies to maintain peaceful relations. Join Rabbi Dovid Fink as he examines which halachic prohibitions should be lifted to maintain shalom.
Maintaining Peaceful Relations: Maintaining Peaceful Relations
In this mini-series, we will address three principal issues:
- What does halacha require or permit in order to maintain good relations between Jews?
- What does halacha require or permit in order to maintain good relations with non-Jews?
- To what extent does halacha require or permit lying in order to maintain good relations?
A source sheet is available through the links in both WORD format and pdf. In class we will translate and explain these sources.
