Shoftim
Humble righteousness is the difference between being a judge and being judgmental.
Appointing judges and officers to uphold the law is critical to making this world a Divine home. There is wrong and right and the righteous of every generation shall apply the right principles to guide the people down the right path. The dark arts and the dark hearts are not for the people of light. The laws of kings are followed by the laws of the cities of refuge. Law and order is especially essential in times of war: peace is always the first option; do not destroy indiscriminately; do not cut down anything productive. Conclude with communal responsibility, especially in no-man’s-land.
