Talmud and the Travel Ban (55:57)
Rabbi Shlomo Yaffe looks at the concept of a travel ban from the Jewish perspective. Is it comparable to the selfish and greedy people of Sedom who refused to share the wealth and oppurtunities they had with others? Or is it an appropiate security precaution in line with the Talmud's take on responding to a threat to human life and one's borders?.
