Some philosophers, like Kant, believed that honesty is the highest value in life. This podcast will examine the Jewish view on this question, how honest a Jew should be, in general and why, and when there are competing values with honesty, when and why it is permitted to lie in Judaism, all through the prism of traditional Jewish sources.
