A Code of Conduct for Business Consistent with Jewish Law and Tradition

Rabbi Dr. Yakov Yellin

January 12 - 26

Thursdays 1:00pm Eastern, 8:00pm Israel

In this three-part series, we will discuss issues such as:

  • Is ethics a source of guidance in Judaism separate from Halakah, or is ethics subsumed within the halakhic system? 
  • What are examples of distinct ethical principles that are part of traditional Judaism?
  • What halachic standards are particularly applicable to business conduct including, for example: Lifnei Iver, Gneivat Daat and Dina D’Malkutha Dina
  • How are employment, labor, and economic activity perceived in Jewish tradition?
