What The Sages Had to Say About the Morality of War

For those among us who enjoy a good read on historical, military or leadership issues, visit vbm-torah.org/archive/halak66/13halak.htm to read a facinating discussion based on the Rambam’s position on “The Morality of War.” A well written paper by Rav Chaim Navon covering such fascinating topics as “injury to innocent citizens,” “showing mercy to the enemy,” and “changes in wartime practices over the generations.” Be the hit of your next military discussion group by bringing the Rambam to the table!

By the way, have you visited www.thejewishsoldier.com lately? Another great study, discussion source and general Jewish information resource for Jewish Soldiers and Lay Leaders.
