Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length of the article: 3 pagesLength of the audio: 10 minutes 2 secondsSynopsis: This is the audio version of the 3-page article I published on rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/ on 7/23/23, entitled: Devarim: The Idolatry of Showing Favoritism in Judgment. If you think you know what the Torah means when it says, "Do not show favoritism in judgment," then either think again, or explain it to me! According to Chazal, this is NOT an intuitive prohibition!-----The Torah content for the month of July has been sponsored by the Richmond, VA learning community, “with appreciation for Rabbi Schneeweiss’s stimulation of learning, thinking, and discussion in Torah during his scholar-in-residence Shabbos this past June.” Thank YOU, Richmond, for your warmth, your curiosity, and your love of Torah! I'm already excited for my next visit!-----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.
