RANSOMING HOSTAGES: AT WHAT PRICE?
Tuesday, July 29 | 10:30 AM – 12:00 Noon
Presented by Harvey Leven

Join us for a thought-provoking and timely session with veteran educator Harvey Leven, as he explores the complexities of halakha (Jewish law) surrounding the ransoming of captives. This age-old issue has deep roots in Jewish tradition and remains profoundly relevant today, particularly in light of Israel’s ongoing challenges.

Through the lens of evolving rabbinic perspectives and historical precedents, Harvey will guide us in examining the moral, legal, and emotional dimensions of negotiating for hostages — and the difficult question: at what price?

This program is open to all who are interested in Jewish ethics, current events, and the intersection of tradition and modern dilemmas.
