Show Notes
Most people believe that returning someone's lost object is so laudable, that they should expect and receive a reward. This podcast will examine why Judaism's attitude to lost objects is quite different, and explain how this one Mitzvah-commandment demonstrates a different way of thinking for traditional Jews. In addition, the podcast will also discuss when a Jew must return and when a Jew may keep a lost object, and why.
