Mishpatim: The Widow, the Orphan, and the Stranger (A conversation with Rabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz)
from Seven Minute Torah · host Micah Streiffer
The Torah's command to care for the widow, orphan, and stranger sits at the base of a rich Jewish theology of compassion, kindness, and social justice. I am joined by Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz, author and activist, to talk about why the ethical and the ritual can't be teased apart, and how the world benefits from a Jewish approach to social justice. R' Shmuly's Social Justice Commentaries can be found here and here.
