The Ethics of War - Taught by Rabbi Dr. Shlomo Brody
Class 1: November 29, 12:00 PM
Siege Warfare and Minimizing Collateral
Damage: “Forewarning” and “Roof-Knocking” in Jerusalem and Lebanon
Sieges are one of the oldest and common forms of warfare,
including many examples in Tanakh. They can also cause
great suffering, as claimed now by some of Israel’s critics.
What’s the controversy about? We’ll explore the important
halakhic limitations applied to sieges and what Jews might
have learned from our horrific experiences in ancient wars.
Class 2: December 6, 12:00 PM
Captive Dilemmas, Then and Now:
Halakhic Perspectives on Freeing
Hostages
242 captives are being held by Hamas in Gaza. What
obligation does Israel have to free these hostages, and
at what cost? We’ll explore the tragic history of hostage
taking and ransoms and ask what those precedents
might teach us about today’s situation.
