Is it possible for wars to be fought ethically? How does Israel's code of military ethics, called Tohar Haneshek (Purity of Arms) differ from that of every other country in the world? In this session, we'll examine Tohar Haneshek by drawing on ancient Jewish texts. We'll also discuss the various ethical dilemmas that Israeli soldiers face in battle, and how wartime decisions are made.

Chairs: Jonathan Minnen and Melanie Nelkin
