Parshas Shoftim: Judges, self-judgment, and the coming month of Elul

The parasha teaches us about appointing judges and officers, which Rabbi Liff connects to the spiritual work of Elul and the Days of Judgment ahead. He emphasizes that we must first be judges over ourselves, guarding our senses and motivations, so that we judge fairly without being swayed by personal interests or bribes.
