Think honesty is always the best policy? The Gemara begs to differ. Join us as we uncover the “sacred white lies” hidden in the Torah and the Jewish artistry of the Peaceful Pivot. We’re breaking down the Talmud’s ultimate guide to social survival—from the moment God “edited” Sarah’s private comments to save Abraham’s feelings, to the literal command to stop wasting your breath on people who won’t listen.
Join Rabbi Ayal Robkin and discover why brutal honesty is often bad policy, and why “departing from the truth” might actually be the holiest thing you do all week. This learning series is in partnership with The Temple, Congregation Ahavath Achim, Congregation Or VeShalom, and Congregation Shearith Israel.
