“Beyond Good Neighbors” What is the purpose of law? Is the goal of law merely to protect individual rights and maintain social order, or should the legal system aspire to guide people to do the right thing and shape a righteous society? This lesson explores the Jewish value of going beyond one's "rights" in order do the right thing by others. We learn that Jewish law aims to shape a righteous society, and to this end it forbids spiteful conduct and legally compels us to do the right thing and accommodate each other when this comes at no personal expense. This principle is applied to neighborly disputes about fences, parking in someone else's driveway, and unauthorized Wi-Fi use.

“Beyond Restitution”
What does true repentance entail? Does repentance have any role to play in the legal system, or should it be considered a strictly personal matter?
This lesson begins by establishing that Jewish repentance— known as teshuvah—is always available to everyone, and defines what this process entails. We learn that overcoming struggles is the very purpose of our creation and brings us to greater heights than what was available to us previously.
Jewish values teach that every offender deserves the opportunity to do teshuvah and that we have an obligation to help facilitate it. Jewish law expresses this value in a number of surprising enactments introduced into the legal system in order to encourage and facilitate teshuvah. Under these enactments, thieves are sometimes allowed to substitute monetary compensation for the stolen item, and the victims of career criminals that come forward to make amends are counseled in certain circumstances not to accept compensation.
This principle is applied to neighborly disputes about fences, parking in someone else's driveway, and unauthorized Wi-Fi use.
