Pursuing Justice

Lessons Learned from Sedek, Sedek Tirdof

I read an interesting article at American Thinker titled A Teacher's Lament, Then and Now. Some of the comments are elucidating but I would like to ask those at American Thinker how comments are moderated as there seems to be one individual who is posting negative ones about Jews.

Shoftim and Elul

We read Parshas Shoftim in the beginning of Elul because the first step to Tshuva is to put guards at our hotspots. "Shoftim V'Shotrim Tetein Lecha B'Chol She'arecha"; place judges and policemen at all your gates. These gates allude to the gates of your body; your eyes, ears, mouth, etc., says the Bnei Yisaschar. The gemara says the eyes see and the heart desires. This is the mechanics of Aveira. We need to watch both what goes into our mouth and what comes out of it. Once we have honest judges guarding these flashpoints from evil we are on the road to tshuvah.

If we do stumble we must have a mechanism for punishing ourselves whether it is in the form of promising to give money to tzedoka or withholding something that we enjoy for every time we slip. This effective idea was popular among the Talmidim of Rav Moshe Kordevero says the Bnei Yisaschar.

Radical haredi faction to sue police over foul smelling spray - I was on a bus departing from Jerusalem when one of the people who had been sprayed got on the bus. The odor was foul and I saw a woman run off the bus with her baby after she turned to her husband complaining that she couldn't breathe and was going to throw up.
The police might want to take into account the hundreds of others who will be affected by the tactics they employ.
