Lunch & Learn

Collective punishment is wrong! Why should people be punished for someone else's sin?! Yet we find quite a few stories in the Bible that seem to imply that collective punishment is a thing! How can this be? Does Judaism believe in collective punishment?

Two examples of stories that seem to imply collective punishment are:

1. Shimon and Levi, sons of Jacob, killed all the men of the city Shechem, because one of them raped their sister. People were punished for someone else's wrongdoing.
2. In the war for the city of Ai, 36 soldiers were killed because of someone else's sin.

Join us for this upcoming Lunch & Learn, where we will be discuss this fascinating topic. The Lunch & Learn will be on Thursday, Nov 10th, at 1-2 PM, and will be given by Rabbi Yakov Barber.

The lunch will be served as a buffet. The menu is as follows:
