Our portion begins this week with:  “God spoke to Moses, telling him to speak to the entire Israelite community and say to them: ‘You must be holy because I am holy, God, your God.’”  K’doshim declares that we are holies, that we are a holy people.

Shabbat Shalom!

This week’s parsha, Mishpatim, means “rules” or “laws,” and it is the first major installment of such regulations in the Torah. (The other day I asked Rabbi Creditor whether the singular of mishpatim was mishpat, and he said, yes, but how often does the Torah just give you one?)
