Rabbi Moshe Feinstein and Stealing from the Government
In this lecture, we will study two responsa of Rabbi Moshe Feinstein; the first addresses his opposition to the practice of inflated the number of students in the yeshiva in order to receive additional governmental aid. The second looks at his opposition to stealing the Regents exams. Rav Moshe expresses a patriotic ethical position on both these issues but he maintains a defense of the yeshiva and the ethical behavior of its leaders.
