Compromising


Hi,

"R' Eliezer, son of R' Yosi haGlili, said: Compromise [by a court] is prohibited, and one who compromises is a sinner… R' Yehoshua ben Karchah said: It is a mitzvah to compromise… R' Shimon ben Menasya said: When two come before you for judgment, then before you hear their words, or after hearing but before you know where the verdict leans, you may tell them, 'Go compromise.'"

(Talmud, Sanhedrin 6b)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
