Good morning and welcome. Today, we explore the wisdom of Shoftim, where the Jewish people are cautioned against the practices of the Canaanites, who relied on magicians and divination. Instead, God has gifted us the Torah and prophets to guide us. The Torah teaches us that true prophets speak in God's name, and we must listen to them rather than being swayed by false prophets who speak presumptuously.
Moses assures us that God will raise prophets from among us, embodying humility and wisdom. The cities of refuge symbolize our spiritual need to turn to the teachings of Torah when we feel overwhelmed by life’s challenges. The laws of manslaughter remind us of accountability and the importance of intention.
As we reflect on these teachings, let us remember that true guidance comes from a sincere connection to our faith and community. This podcast was produced and sponsored by Daniel Aharonoff.
