Mishpatim: Equal Justice for All

In Parashat Mishpatim, the Torah lays out the infrastructure for establishing a rectified society. One of the most surprising commandments is: "Do not show partiality to a poor man in his legal case" (Exodus 23:3). At first glance, this seems almost contrary to human nature. Does the Torah, which preaches mercy, kindness, and aid to the poor, instruct us specifically here to halt our compassion?

The commandment of Dinim (Laws) is a positive, proactive obligation for the Children of Noah. The Torah warns the judge, and society as a whole, against the emotional tendency to tilt the judgment in favor of the poor person simply because of his poverty. Justice is an absolute value that does not depend on socio-economic status. As Maimonides rules (Laws of Sanhedrin, Chapter 20, Law 7), the purpose of a court of law is the pursuit of justice, not the…

PARSHAT YITRO – THE TRUTH SEEKER

The weekly Torah portion of Yitro focuses on the most formative event in human history: the Giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. It was here that the Seven Noahide Commandments—originally given to Adam and Noah—were reaffirmed and integrated into the eternal Divine covenant through Moses. Surprisingly, the portion is not named "The Giving of the Torah." Instead, it is named after a man: Yitro (Jethro), who held the title "Priest of Midian." Why does the Torah not name the portion after this transformational event, rather, after Jethro? 

The Zohar reveals that the Torah could not be given to the world until Yitro arrived and acknowledged the Almighty. It was only after Yitro proclaimed, "Now I know that the Lord is greater than all the gods," that a spiritual elevation occurred across all worlds, allowing the connection between Heaven and Earth at Mount Sinai. To understand the…

“They came to Eilim, where there were 12 springs and 70 date palms, and they camped there by the water.”

This verse is a map of your soul.

The 12 springs are the Jewish people — the source of Torah.

The 70 palms are all humanity — every nation, every seeker.

And the water is Torah, the wisdom that gives eternal life.

Parshat Beshalach: Gratitude-the Key to Joyful Life 

Parshat "Beshalach" centers on one of the most sublime moments in human history—the Song of the Sea (Shirat HaYam). Following years of enslavement in Egypt, and at the miraculous moment of salvation on the shores of the Red Sea, the Children of Israel burst into a song of praise and gratitude to the Creator of the world. The Song of the Sea was not sung only for the momentary miracle of the splitting of the sea, but for the entire journey of the People of Israel. The key to constant gratitude lies in the ability to look in the right way back at one’s past.

When a person pauses for a moment and honestly reflects on their life's path, they discover that even in the most difficult moments, the Hand of G-d was there. Those "coincidences" that saved us, those people who appeared…
