THE PERILS OF PROGRESSIVE MERCY
from Deeper Look At The Parsha · host Rabbi Pini Dunner
We live in an age where “compassion” and “tolerance” are paraded as the highest virtues. But when mercy is divorced from truth, it becomes cruelty in disguise. Rabbi Dunner takes us on a journey from Rousseau to Parshas Re’eh, and from woke politics to Rambam, to discover why the Torah warns us: “lo tachmol velo techaseh alav” — that false compassion destroys.
