Today’s Talmud pages, Bava Kama 87 and 88 asks what Jewish ethics permit us to do when we are on the retaliating end of atrocities. This is an especially important question in the aftermath of October 7. We welcome Rabbi Dr. Shlomo Brody, author of Ethics of Our Fighters: A Jewish View on War and Morality to discuss the complicated balance between indiscriminate killing and maintaining our defense. What does halacha teach us about the ways that we fight that keep in mind both the idea that all human beings are made in the image of God and our need for retaliation? Listen and find out.
