R. Dena Weiss: Unintended Consequences
from Ta Shma Hosted by Hadar Institute
Not everyone has the best intentions. This class explores the category of the "eid zomem" - the false witness who tries, but fails, to condemn an innocent person through their testimony. What is the proper way to think about one who tries to do wrong, but doesn't succeed? What do we do when the punishment can't possibly fit the crime? The remainder of this 6-part series can be found on Hadar's Torah Library. Recorded in Winter 2026.
