In this week's parashah (weekly Torah portion), Vayigash, and many others, key characters lie - without consequence! Yet surely lying is wrong? We are told by our parents that we 'must tell the truth'. Inspired by Ian Leslie’s 'Born Liars' (2011), we will explore situations in which we should, possibly, lie or deceive. We will also consider when and why Judaism allows us to lie.
