From Shoftim to Ki Teitzei: Justice, War, and the Consequences of Our Choices
Rabbi Daniel Glatstein
The end of Parashat Shoftim and the beginning of Ki Teitzei reveal striking connections between justice, war, the eglah arufah, the yefat to’ar, and the ben sorer u’moreh. This lesson explores how the Torah traces the consequences of our choices and teaches that righteousness and justice are essential for the Jewish people’s success.
