Living with Honesty

Based on the Teachings of Harav Yisroel Belsky zt”l

  • Scraping a poorly parked car.
  • Using the company’s office supplies for your own purposes.
  • Copying a CD for your own use.

The “honesty issues” facing our society are numerous, and they touch upon so many different subjects: dina d’malchusa dina, chillul Hashem, geneivas da’as, among others. But for each question that arises, the Torah has a response, and who is better qualified than Harav Yisroel Belsky zt”l to teach us the Torah’s view of these matters?

In addition to his sterling middos and his greatness in Torah learning and halachah, Rav Belsky was known as being incredibly “straight,” a paradigm of honesty. This book contains many of the questions Rav Belsky received on the topic of practical applications of honesty in halachah, as well as his answers to them. Also included in the book is a rich sampling of the shiurim he gave on this subject.

Written in a clear and concise format by noted author Rabbi Moishe Dovid Lebovits, himself a close talmid of Rav Belsky, the book contains definite undertones of Rav Belsky’s inimitable way of speaking. Living with Honesty is a book that will educate and enlighten you as to how a Torah Jew must conduct himself in areas of  money and honesty.
