Taming The Bandit In All Of Us

from Beth El of Manhattan, Two-Testament Synagogue · host Rabbi Bruce L. Cohen

The parasha this week is "Shofteem" - "Judges (empowered expert legal authorities) and officers (enforcement/police) you will install in all your gates (where decisions are made)." Such personnel are only needed in places where crimes and harms are done. In "The Promised Land?" What gives, here? We find that banditry - using force and alliances to do self-beneficial harm to others by theft and other crimes – is at the heart of human existence. How can we rise above it?
