Tzedaka: Negotiating Civic Order and Social Justice – Rabbanit Dr. Hannah Hashkes

Uri L'Tzedek: Orthodox Social Justice

This LIVE Shiur looks at the tensions between the management of a municipal corporation and the individual needs of its weaker members. We will explore how the rabbis negotiate this tension through rabbinic discussions in Bava Batra 7b-8b. This discussion is part of the Mishnah chapter about the kind of boundaries that make good neighbors and partners, or generally put, between goodwill and law.
