Shabbat Shalom Message
from Matt Rissien
Shabbat Shalom,
This week’s Torah portion, Mishpatim, is one that is literally a series of laws that God shares with Moses. We see laws that deal with crime and punishment, laws that focus on the land itself, and even laws about eating. As God mentions all of these commandments, the Hebrew people respond with “Na’aseh V’nishma,” which translates to “We will do, and we will understand.”
