Have you ever done a favour for a friend and received more thanks or credit than you really deserved? Does halacha require a person to correct the misunderstanding, or is there no obligation to say anything? The discussions immediately showed the boys that halacha is not confined to the Beis Medrash — it is deeply relevant to everyday life, friendships, honesty, gratitude, and business interactions. The sessions were lively, thoughtful, and engaging (Brackman's cupcake was certainly a highlight!).
The boys approached the scenarios with enthusiasm and maturity, seeing first hand how Torah values guide real-life situations in a practical and meaningful way. We are pleased to share the 35th edition of the Yavneh Newsletter, Parshas Emor. Dvar Torah from Rabbi Joseph and Year 7, Joshua G.
Is there any difference between stealing 50p or £10k? If my friend is not here and left his hoodie on a peg, may I borrow it for 20 minutes?
The importance of respecting others' belongings is mentioned many times in the Torah, but it is also an area of complex Halacha and ethics. We are grateful to Rabbi Shaftesley for (as usual) providing clarity and making this such an enjoyable session. We look forward to a series of Lunch and Learns with Rabbi Shaftesley after Pesach.
