Drash Cards for Ki Teitzei (5761)<\/strong><\/p>\n

by Marc Mangel<\/p>\n

\u2022 This parsha has several moral rules, including provisions for women captured in battle, leaving an estate, and dealing with a rebellious son.<\/p>\n

\u2022 But it also emphasizes that there is\u00a0true evil<\/span>: Amalek (Ch 25, v 17) , which comes from an analysis of the different kinds of evil.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Doing so, the Torah becomes a revolutionary document because it \u00a0tells us (Ch 23, v 8) not to abhor the Edomite; Rashi says this is because they were our hosts<\/p>\n

\u2022 Maimonides notes that there are 72 positive and 72 negative commandments in this parsh: 7+2 +7+ 2 = 18. \u00a0About this, Nehama says “This sidra surpasses all others”.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Torah for our life today (which I has not changed,when I type these words in 5776): a refugee boat on the way to Australia capsizes and was rescued by Norwegians fishing, but Australia would not let them land.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Torah (Ch 23, v 16) tells us how to treat escaped (from non-Jews, according to the classical interpretation) slaves. \u00a0Today’s refugees are escaped slaves.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Indeed, Pesach teaches us that there are many kinds of slavery, so there are many kinds of escaped slaves. \u00a0About this, Rabbi Nachman said that we must feel another’s troubles in our heart.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Refugees\/slaves: \u00a0are poor; look different from us; speak differently from us; and act differently from us\/<\/p>\n

\u2022 How are we to receive these strange and different people? \u00a0The Torah tells us that we should let them dwell in our midst. Working on this is a worth goal for Elul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
