These are the Rules that you Have Set Before Them

Almost half way through the Jewish year, we come upon the first body of Torah legislation.  Narrative is set aside.  Here, we learn how to create a just society.  Arson, lending, caring for the stranger and the needy among the people – all this and more is treated in this parsha.  The Hebrew Bible treats these and other matters of social justice in detail.

At this service, we’ll see how, and why.  Please join us and learn how deeply our ancient forebears thought about human needs and human rights.
