#44 - Deception: Creating a False Impression
Manage episode 378795717 series 3515884
It's no surprise that the halakhah frowns upon deceptive behavior (g'neivat da`at). We are forbidden to act in such a way as to create a false impression in the minds of others, even when our action causes them no material loss, simply because deception in and of itself is a bad thing. But how bad is it? Are we always forbidden to deceive? Without exception?
Well, there's a machloket about that.
