Justice, Justice Shall You Pursue

In Parshat Shoftim, Moses reviews the judicial code that will govern Israelite society in the Land of Canaan, and he starts, with a passionate call to action, commanding the People, “justice, justice shall you pursue.”

I’m not a rabbi, so every week, I look at our Torah portion and try to put it in conversation with the world around me. Judaism is rich in tradition, and each of us deserves the chance to find our own meaning in the text. Whether you’re studying Torah daily, or taking a moment to prepare for Shabbat, I hope you’ll make these ten minutes of Torah part of your week.
