On religion in jail, empathy and wisdom

On this week's edJEWCation we talk about jail.

The Rabbi talks about why Chabad spends time there, why he goes, the ethical and moral implications of punishment, how the Torah attempted to deter crime, and the role of the Torah in shaping societal justice.

Then we go into our penultimate discussion of Ethics of our Fathers where we discuss Mishna's which talk about balancing wisdom with action and empathy with understanding.
