dc.description.abstractIn this week’s parsha, Shoftim, we find an unambiguous statement about judging others with the highest moral standards and expecting compliance: “You shall not judge unfairly: you shall show no partiality; you shall not take bribes, for bribes blind the eyes of the wise and upset the plea of the just” (Deut. 16:19). Whereas sometimes the Torah is authoritative and didactic in its presentation of commandments, here it is explanatory. The verse tells us what taking bribes can do both to the judge and to those being judged.en_US
