The Importance of Covenants
In Parashat Mishpatim we read the rules of owning Jewish slaves. The practice is strongly discouraged, and the Torah stipulates that all Jewish slaves must be set free, their debts cancelled, every seven years. This practice protects Jewish slaves from being held as indentured servants for extended periods of time, and emphasizes the dignity of all, no matter social status.
In the Haftarah for Parashat Mishpatim, Jeremiah berates the people of Judah for keeping Jewish slaves against God’s wishes, and predicts that Jerusalem will be conquered because of the people’s disrespect for God.

This is what it is all about… – Chen, Chesed v’Rachamim
Mercy, compassion, clemency, forgiveness, sympathy, empathy, leniency, concern
(Parashat Mishpatim: Exodus 21:1 – 24:18 – Haftarah Mishpatim: Jeremiah 33:25-26, 34:8-22)
Chen, Chesed v’Rachamim (pronounce ‘ch’ as in ‘Bach’) is the Mirror reflecting HaShem’s Love for ALL His Creation, in which we should judge ourselves daily. Let us paste it on our mirrors.

Brush with the Divine
Parashat Yitro Exodus 18:1 – 20:23
Haftarah Yitro Isaiah 6;1 – 7:6; 9;5 – 6 (Isaiah 6,1-13)
The Shechinah (visible Presence of G-d) left His Nation when the 1st Temple was destroyed – and has never yet returned. The 2nd Temple was devoid of this Shechinah. Much is written by the Jewish Sages about the Return of the Shechinah but generally it points forward to the Time when the two divided Houses of Israel will reconcile and re-unite into ONE Nation.
