Parshat Mishpatim 5786 by Josh Rosenfeld

A Don McLean concert becomes a meditation on nostalgia, inspiration, and disappointment. Rabbi Dunner reflects on what it means to watch a cultural hero age — and offers a novel insight into why the Torah follows the drama of Sinai with the unglamorous laws of Parshat Mishpatim, where faith is tested not in moments of awe, but in the demands of ordinary life.

Shiur dedicado à Refuá Shleimá de Eliakim Ben NaomiEmParashat Mishpatim, logo após os Dez Mandamentos, a Torá nos surpreende com a lei do eved ivri — e nos ensina que liberdade não é comodidade.Por que a orelha é furada apenas no final? Porque o verdadeiro teste não está no erro, mas no que fazemos depois dele.De “Naassê Venishmá” à tinta de Moshe Rabbeinu, aprendemos que fazer não basta — é preciso querer mais, buscar entender, abraçar a mitzvá.Assim como no Everest, quem cresce é quem encontra forças para dar o passo a mais quando todos já decidiram parar.

The Torah commands us not to cause unnecessary suffering to animals, Not just for the sake of the animal, but because cruelty damages the human soul. Parshas Mishpatim is about caring when no one is looking. The Torah demands kindness precisely where there is no gratitude, no recognition. Animals won't thank you. In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed "Bohemian Rhapsody". His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band "Foreigner" (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, "Feels Like The First Time", "Cold as Ice" and "Long, Long Way from Home". Other production work included "The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars", "The Curves", and "Nutz" as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich's Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others. Rabbi Sinclair was born in London, and lives with his family in Jerusalem. He was educated at St. Anthony's Preparatory School in Hampstead, Clifton College, and Bristol University.

Rav Asher Manning's Dvar Torah for the Weekly Email Shiur, Parshat Mishpatim 5786

Parshat Mishpatim teaches that even logical laws must be placed “before them”—before Torah authority. Disputes belong in Beit Din, affirming that justice flows from Hashem. The goal is not to win, but to discover the Torah's will and remain connected to its authority. https://www.torahrecordings.com/classes/by_parsha/002_shemos/006_mishpatim/003

The Alter of Slabodka derives a fascinating idea based on a perplexing Gemara.

Discover how Parshat Mishpatim reveals a hidden danger in the laws that seem to "make sense" — and why treating civil laws as mere common sense undermines the Torah's divine blueprint. This week's Torah portion challenges a blind spot that affects even the most committed Jews: prioritizing one half of the luchot (tablets) over the other.Through Rav Yitzchak Huttner's profound insight on the covenant blood divided by an angel, the Sfas Emes on why rational-seeming laws are a divine gift, and the Bartenura's surprising explanation of Pirkei Avot, this episode unpacks why the Torah insists that ethical laws and ritual laws carry identical weight from Sinai.For Torah students, spiritual seekers, and anyone navigating the balance between being a good person and a committed Jew — this Torah podcast episode offers eye-opening Jewish wisdom on faith (emunah), character development (middot), and practical spiritual growth. Featuring an unforgettable true story about a $10,000 decision that transformed two lives.Weekly Torah commentary exploring Jewish spirituality, Torah teachings, and biblical insights for the modern Jewish community.

Franny Waisman's “Netivot Shalom” series, Parshat Mishpatim 5786

How does Torah teach us to use power without abusing it? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbi Dr. Meesh Hammer-Kossoy explore Parshat Mishpatim as the Torah's first sustained encounter with law—and what it reveals about human power and moral responsibility. They examine why revelation leads directly into detailed civil laws, how Torah assumes human failure, and why justice requires limits on authority, wealth, and even righteous intention. The conversation argues that holiness is built not through ideals alone, but through careful accountability in everyday human relationships.

In this episode with Rabbi Yaakov Beasly, we explore the fascinating text of this week's Haftorah describing the unusual childhood of the Judean king Yoash and his attempt to physically restore the Temple. The conversation highlights the tragedy of disillusionment with spiritual leadership and reminds us how challenging it is to change intergenerational patterns. This week's episode is dedicated in memory of Vera Perlman and Leeba bat Yitzchak Meyer. This year the Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftorah.

In this fascinating conversation with Professor Chaim Saiman, we explore foundational understandings of how the rabbinic system of law developed and is enforced. The conversation then turns to the judiciary role of American rabbinical courts today and how this compares and contrasts with trends in Israel. Check out Prof. Saiman's Book Halakha here: https://www.amazon.com/Halakhah-Rabbinic-Library-Jewish-Ideas/dp/069115211X The series asks what axiomatic ideas sit at the root of Israel's national formation, without which we wouldn't be who we are? How might we adjust our current trends in the Jewish world to realign with these principles?

!Torah Class - Parshat Mishpatim: Struggling? Lift Up AnotherShould we focus on lifting ourselves out of the quicksand,or can we accomplish that by lifting up another?

Today’s daf is dedicated by Di Kushar in honor of her granddaughter Ayala’s bat mitzva which took place this Shabbat. “We learned together long distance, online, laws of damages and compensation in Parshat Mishpatim which are developed further in the current dapim of Baba Kamma. Now at a family reunion, we will celebrate together. Mazal tov!” A question is asked regarding the dyeing of wool - when the dye is added to the wool, does the dye enhance the wool or not? The Gemara questions the question's meaning/relevance and brings seven possible explanations - four of which are rejected and three of which are not. They attempt to answer the question by bringing in sources relating to dyeing using shmita and orla produce, but these proofs are rejected as the laws are unique to those situations based on the verses in the Torah. Rava then raises a contradiction between the orla case and a case of impurity case, which is resolved.  Rava also brings two contradictory sources relating to whether or not kedushat shviit applies to plants/wood from a tree not used for eating. This contradiction is also resolved.

BH Why is it important to connect our daily life to Mount Sinai?

Parshat Mishpatim outlines the laws of indentured servants and maidservants, including servants going free in the seventh year, servants getting married while working, and a father making a deal for his daughter's hand in marriage. This set of laws seems strikingly similar to an earlier story involving a worker and a father trying marrying off his daughters. Could these laws in Mishpatim actually be the Torah's own commentary on the negotiations between Jacob and Laban back in Genesis?Join Rabbi David Fohrman and Ari Levisohn as they discuss these surprising parallels and explore the relationship between the Torah's laws and its stories.Into The Verse is taking a break for a little while.
