In this episode, we return to Har Sinai, but not to the thunder and revelation, but to what came next.
Parshas Mishpatim moves us from the ecstasy of receiving the Torah into the detailed laws that shape a holy society. I explore what it means that immediately after Sinai, we are given laws about slavery, dignity, financial responsibility, protecting the vulnerable, honoring parents, and guarding the integrity of our communities.
These laws can feel technical or even uncomfortable. But beneath them is something deeply tender: G-d showing us the structure required for His presence to dwell among us.
Mishpatim asks: What kind of world are we building? Are we creating space for compassion, accountability, and protection of the widow, the orphan, and the convert? Are we strong enough to hold both the fire of revelation and the discipline of law?
