Inhaltsangabe

What's the right way to treat wrongdoers?

Marathon runners murdered in the name of G-d. Pensioners left penniless in the name of greed. Children abused by the people they trusted to protect them.

Your heart screams: is there a punishment harsh enough for criminals of this kind?

And yet, with more lives on the line, you find yourself equally questioning modern "justice":

Why do we punish criminals in the first place?

Can we justify a history of convicting—even executing—the wrong people? As a society, what are we doing to slow the tide of crime before it comes to this? With this highly-anticipated course from JLI, explore the Torah’s take on crime, incarceration and rehabilitation. Revisit famous cases of wrongful conviction through the lens of Talmudic law. Explore themes of betrayal and acceptance as when someone close to you commits a crime.

As you test your tolerance for injustice of every kind, uncover practical ways to fix the system—and maybe just repair the world.
