Have you ever been manipulated by a 3-year-old? I’m not ashamed to admit I have. In this episode, I look at the eighth commandment, “Lo tignov,” “Do not steal.” But the kind of theft I chose to explore isn’t your typical petty theft. I learned there’s actually more to this commandment than meets the eye.
