Murder, Mercy, and Mindfulness: Wisdom from the Sixth Commandment

from Soulful Jewish Living: Mindful Practices For Every Day · host Unpacked

Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores the Sixth Commandment—“Lo Tirtzach: Don’t Murder”—and why it’s far more than a prohibition against taking a life. Rabbi Feigelson reveals how the commandment extends beyond literal murder to include gossip, false testimony, harmful advice, or withholding life-saving information. Through mindfulness practice, he shows how recognizing the unique, infinite, and equal value of every person can transform the way we think, speak, and act every day.
