Description

Can a Jew save a non-Jew on Shabbat? Can a Jew cheat a non-Jew? These questions have been addressed by Jewish authorities throughout the centuries and the answers have been the source of responses and polemical literature written by non-Jews. Is there a difference in the manner in which halachah requires a Jew to behave to another Jew and the way the Jew is required to deal with non-Jews? Can this double standard be justified? Join us as we explore this controversial and exciting topic.
