We met on Monday 8/06/2015 at 18:00 in the Hebrew University
At the beginning of the encounter, we repeated the words we learned at the last encounter. Each participant said one word he had learned, and then we sat down as a group for about an hour and a half, speaking half of the time in Arabic and the other half we spoke in Hebrew. We dedicated the last fifteen minutes to summarize the topic and new words learned during this encounter.
The subject of this encounter was: the "White Lie" - for or against
Each participant shared his/her own opinion. There were disagreement and differences between views, however all participants generally agreed that lying is forbidden and the prohibition of the lie shall increase when the lie would lead to more harm to others. Then we discussed and reviewed the opinions of the participants on the following points made in advance in order to enrich the debate:
• in some situations it is better to keep quiet and not tell the truth
• full honesty is not possible and sometimes it is not wanted
• even though the results agree with the white lie, researchers specify that white lie is somethings that people should not make a habit of, because otherwise they could reach a level they could not tell the truth.
And like the last encounter, time moved quickly and ended at 20:00.
