8/30/25 – Shiur 526 – The “Epstein Files” – Do we have the right to know if someone is a threat to our community —whether a pedophile, abuser, or swindler?

JL;DR SUMMARY The episode explores the delicate balance of protecting community safety while respecting individual rights, focusing on the implications of Jewish law (halacha) and secular law regarding publicizing information about potential threats. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself.
  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
