One of the most complicated aspects of human interaction is problem-solving between parties. Sometimes people are vested in "being right" for a variety of reasons. But in most cases, a dispute requires compromise. Rabbi Cohen and Dr. Labkoff discuss the various aspects of compromise from a variety of perspectives. Everything from compromising tradition vs assimilation to compromising to end wars, and a variety of topics in between. Compromise is not easy - nor is it straight forward. The Torah points us to an array of approaches - depending on what's at stake - from the mundane to the highly complex. It is one of the most interesting things that is prescribed in the Torah and the Talmud. Join us for our 26th episode of the podcast: an introduction to what compromise means in our lives today.
