Parashat Hashavua: Just Out of Egypt and Already Chok and Mishpat

Soon after Bnei Yisrael experienced the great miracles at the splitting of the sea and appropriately sang their praises to Hashem, they arrived at Mara. There they complained of thirst and screamed out to Hashem. Part of Hashem’s response to them is described by the Torah (Shemot 15:25) as: “There He placed for [the nation] chok and mishpat (usually synonyms for laws or statutes).” But what do they mean, specifically, in context?

Ask the Rabbi: Trying on a Beged without Tzitzit

I saw someone shopping for a tzitzit beged without tzitzit (so he could attach them), and he tried it on for size. I thought it was forbidden to wear a beged requiring tzitzit without them. Was he right to do so?

Igrot Hare’aya – Letters of Rav Kook: Work on Religious Papers – #185

May Hashem see to it that there will be agreement on the terms of the rent, so that we can start the critical work for saving the moshava and shining the light of Hashem in its midst. (I am unaware of what project, in which moshava, Rav Kook referred to.) Many great things will come out of this concerning generally raising the stature of reliable Judaism in the Holy Land, with Hashem’s help.

P'ninat Mishpat: Problems Arising from the Sale of Stores in New Project – part III
