Description

A culture of anonymity has developed that has changed the way that we communicate. People can now hide behind screen names, anonymous e-mail addresses, twitter feeds, etc. What can we learn from the Torah about the nature of anonymity: when is it a good thing, when is it a destructive thing? Is Teshuva better served anonymously? How does it change the way we see each other?
