Description

Is the truth absolute? After all, Emes is a big virtue in Judaism. If we can bend it, sometimes, how far does this go? How does this apply to censorship of sefarim and other works in recent times? A look at some of the classical sources in Torah, Gemara and Rishonim and Achronim on this famous issue. [I did glean many of the sources from Professor Marc Shapiro's scholarly work on censorship].
