Hadar Atlanta: Why God Loves Liars (Sometimes)

Think honesty is always the best policy? The Gemara begs to differ. Join us as we uncover the “sacred white lies” hidden in the Torah and the Jewish artistry of the Peaceful Pivot. We’re breaking down the Talmud’s ultimate guide to social survival—from the moment God “edited” Sarah’s private comments to save Abraham’s feelings, to the literal command to stop wasting your breath on people who won’t listen. Join the Dupree in this edition of the Rotating Beit Midrash and discover why brutal honesty is often bad policy, and why “departing from the truth” might actually be the holiest thing you do all week.
