Ki Teitzei: The Creator's Presence in All Our Ways
In Parashat Ki Teitzei, the Torah teaches us a paramount moral and economic foundation: "A perfect and just weight you shall have; a perfect and just measure you shall have" Deuteronomy 25:13–16. This warning against double standards and falsified weights is not merely a technical instruction for marketplace vendors; it is a cornerstone in building a rectified human society, related to the commandment of establishing Courts/Justice System — one of the Seven Noahide Laws and also may be related to the prohibition of theft.
The seventh Noahide commandment is the obligation to establish courts and a system of justice. In our times, when commerce is no longer conducted solely with scales and stone weights, the principle of "a perfect and just weight" extends to all realms of the financial and digital economy.

Shoftim – Social Responsibility
At the conclusion of this week's Torah portion, Shoftim (Judges), the Torah introduces the Jewish commandment of the Broken-necked Heifer. When a murdered person is found lying in an open field and the identity of the killer remains unknown, the leaders and judges of the nearest town must perform a public ritual. They lead a young heifer to a valley and declare: "Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see."
This act serves as an atonement and brings urgent public attention to the unsolved crime, ensuring justice is pursued. At first glance, this raises an obvious question: Why should the town elders and judges have an atonement for a murder committed in secret?

Thank you Rabbi for your response to my question. I have just completed my third on line course.

Hello Todd
All of these courses are truly inspiring. At the moment I have just completed two of the three free classes covering the basics of what it means to follow the principles of the Noahide pathway. As you go through your course tell me about some of the things you are learning and some of your views about the course content.
Best regards
Nev

This is the way of humanity. We are strongly tempted to decieve if the opportunity presents itself. The knowledge that you have done so is a burden none of us wants and when it occurs we ought to feel anguish and a little shame. A second or two of giving consideration to the consequences of our action/inaction before we give in to the temptation is worthwhile and is effective in seeing the error writ large in the mind and that helps in avoidance. Who can deny that this momentary pause helps the inner light in us shine bright and come to our rescue?
