À propos de ce contenu audio

This week’s Torah portion is Mishpatim, Hebrew for “laws.” The portion covers Exodus 21:1 to 24:18. At this point in the Exodus chronology, the Israelites are entering their seventh week of freedom. In the previous portion, Yitro, they heard for the first time the Ten Commandments, the Big Ten.

If the Ten Commandments are the constitution of this new nation, Mishpatim is the civil and criminal code. This section provides a detailed look at the full covenant. It takes the moral heights of the mountain and applies them to the grit of daily life.
