Description

Gemara Ketubot 16b-17a: How do we dance in front of the bride? Bet Shammai, “Kamot Shehi”. Bet Hillel: “Kala naeh vechasuda”. Bet Shammai: "You can't lie!" Bet Hillel: "We do when it comes to a bad purchase!" -- What is the basis for this argument, how do their arguments come together? What are the possible issues at play here? -- 1) Sheker vs. Emet, 2) Parameters of Emet (subjective), 3) Is praise for a bride "avak lashon hara"? 4) Simchat Chatan v'Kala and what rules are relaxed toward that end. -- Looking at number 1 - Can one lie ever? What about for peace? -- Gemara Yevamot 66a if it is just muttar, a mitzva, etc.
