Synopsis

A NEW TWO-PART MINI-SERIES FROM THE ROHR JEWISH LEARNING INSTITUTE

Lesson 1: NEGOTIATING WITH TERROR

In 2011, Israel set 1,027 prisoners free in exchange for the release of Gilad Shalit. More recently, the rise of ISIS and the murders of James Foley and Steven Sotloff and others have forced us to revisit this heart wrenching debate:

Should we pay hefty ransoms or release dangerous criminals in exchange for the life and freedom of an innocent hostage?

Lesson 2: TORTURING TO SAVE LIVES

The recent “Torture Report” alleges that the brutal interrogation techniques used by the CIA in the aftermath of 9/11 were ineffective.

But what if they did yield valuable information—would they have been justified? While the evils of terror must be combated, human rights must also be protected. How are we to balance these competing values?
