In a recent post, I explored one of Judaism’s most overlooked moral strengths: compromise. Where secular ethical systems often treat compromise as a concession - or worse, a failure - Jewish tradition elevates it to a mitzvah, a tool for peace, dignity, and community trust. In the real world, the goal shouldn't be to find a single right answer in a binary ethical choice, but to find the optimal solution that respects not only abstract ethical rules but real people, real circumstances and real ramifications.
