Torah Portions Through the Eyes of Our Scholars
Volume 8

In this week’s portion the Jews are commanded to set up courts of law. This lecture will define for you the Torah’s view on how those courts should be set up, how judges must act and how justice is truly served in a Torah way. Rabbi Wein explains the Jewish outlook as opposed to the secular one on how justice is meted out. His familiarity with the secular legal system and his background as a lawyer and communal rabbi adds an extra dimension to the discussion.
