Portion of the Week; Shofetim 35-1, Rabbi Marcus

the lazy is all although millennium days casale him the ace although it's we are

listening this evening we're rabbi emil you mock this spiritual leader of the off a duck's congregation of the young men and women's hebrew association of jamaica and to make a long island new york and the rebirth of the state of israel has not only given impetus to renewed interest in governmental agencies and institutions of the past mr jin purpose and development but has made of this study a pragmatic rather than theoretical one during this series of six letters we will study the establishments and status of the government of israel it's a judge's chains prophets and court system as ordained by god and the holy bible we will pay particular attention to the application of these biblical bit go to our modern world both in the exploration of the influence exerted by the bible and twentieth century jurisprudence an invisibility

as an eternal doctrine in our discourse is we shall devote ourselves to this important topic using the teachings and commentaries of the sages of israel's past as our guides and teachers with their aid we will endeavor to evolve a chain of tradition from mosaic times until the present era after having promulgated in previous portions of deuteronomy laws for the common citizen god through his servant moses' issues now legislation for the leaders judges king's priests and profits their integrity will promote the welfare of the people or as their corruption most certainly needed to the rule of the people it is advisable to have a copy of the techs present at all times so as to be able to refer to individual passengers our text for this recession will be deuteronomy chapter sixteen versus eighteen to twenty one the

translation will be as little as possible judges and officers shouted out to intervene in all by gates which the morning by god gives to the tribe by tribe and they show judges the people with the right use judgment thou shalt not pervert or ben judgment though shalt not respect persons and thou shalt not accept a gift for the gift of blinded eyes of the wise and pervert the words of the righteous justice justice shall duval chase after so that valets live and inherit the land which the market by god gives to the we will now analyze each passage in terms of its content and obligations before we can fortify ourselves against our enemies from without we must buttress and

sharpen our inner defenses and secure peace and harmony among our own said reasons and the light of chaotic developments in the newly formed nation and asians in africa southeast asia this principle is bored sharply into focus judges and officers the legislative and executive branches of government must be firmly established to ensure stability and our way of life thou shalt give to be an old by gates both offices legislative and executive must be elected to give in by the people themselves and each town or village city or state no individual or group of individuals in one date or region has the right to dictate to another area or a section in regard to the joys of the local government officials the freedom integrity of each community must be safeguarded

first nor any municipality absolved itself from its responsibilities of local government by delegating such authority to a wider body of citizens tribe by tribe and they show judge whether people with righteous judgment this passage is perhaps the most astounding all biblical pronouncements on human relations it is certainly the earliest expression of equal rights in a court of law for all citizens regardless of race or creed notes carefully it does not state thou shalt judges the jews are busily lights but rather than our show judge of the people a term used constantly out to the bible to denote a mixture of police culture and ethnic background and the word was used in exodus chapter thirteen again and again

to denote the many egyptians and other slaves who fled with the jews and the mixture a conglomeration of all types and stretches of human beings in number is chapter eleven fourteen times the word bomb is used to note of the difficulties caused by the alien elements that infiltrated the people in juarez for in the same chapter there's a sharp line drawn to demonstrate their corrupting influence the word used to describe them is the process of translated a mixed multitude and the knicks not until that was amongst them lasted and cosby is realized to follow suit and cried out whole will give us meet in every case in the bible it is these dissident elements which have almost brought

about the destruction and ruin of the jewish people yet in spite of all this in matters of law they're entitled to equal justice the law cannot be banned large and a citizen of israel of the jewish faith to be respected are treated with harsh reality solely because of his race or creed in addition justice is not enough english but said vick lied just judgment not all crimes are equal wherein all the annals of civilization can we find a record of motives or circumstances being even considered in the dispensation of justice the bible at the outset made emphatically clear but to steal money to buy bread for one starting family was

certainly a crime but certainly not equal with that for personal pleasure or luxury image but and said that justice and righteousness must work hand in hand in all deliberations thou shalt not to bend to judgment though shalt not respect persons and thou shalt not accept gifts very clever steps and attending buddhist to a judge from his duty the forest see the judges before the trial where you know your side for its second how they're influential friends contact in cia knows who you are let him know the pilot to carry or perhaps the reverse if you have no influence played upon a victim of circumstances

beyond your control nervousness poverty lack of opportunity etc the wrong side of the tracks third if you can see in your case with a case of scotch delivered tactfully and diplomatically the day before the trial of course nearly as a gesture of friendship these are the three steps of the bible for warns us too often have we read of judges and government officials who succumb to the temptations of sudden and unexpected gifts fortunately they are among a small minority it is interesting that one of the requirements of jewish all is that i judged independently wealthy in addition to possessing knowledge this was done deliberately to avert a collision of principles with alluring offers an enticing president's judicial analogy is not unknown in our own system of government tomorrow we will
