S2E6 Mishpatim 2023
from Parsha for Kids Hosted by Chana Friedman
This parsha is chock full of important laws. The laws often include significant information about how we should treat others. For example, we learn: We are responsible to help rehabilitate the Hebrew servant, even though he stole. We need to treat him with dignity and respect. We are responsible to help heal someone we hurt, and to pay money to accomplish this. We are responsible to be kind to the convert, the orphan and the widow, all people who might feel especially lonely in our community. We are responsible to give back a poor person’s shirt if we loaned them money and this was their collateral. This is so that they have clothes to wear each day. We are responsible to help return a wandering or lost animal to our enemy. Learning about these responsibilities can help us develop into better people. In each situation, God is helping us to be more sensitive to others around us and making sure we treat them with kindness.
