Welcome back, dear listeners. In the Mishneh Torah, Laws of Neighbors 12:12, the Rambam offers timeless wisdom about disputes between neighbors. He teaches that it’s better to create peace and avoid going to court, even if it means losing financially. Why? Because court battles bring stress, consume time, and can damage relationships beyond repair. Sometimes, choosing peace over “being right” is the wisest and most compassionate path.
