Parshas Mishpatim (5767)
By Mordechai Dolinsky

For the Mishpatim we must be reminded specifically that it is from Sinai and for the very same reason the Sanhedrin was placed near the Bais HaMikdash. The monetary laws are unique in that to properly understand and deal with them we must exert and involve our own logic. To really get down to the mentality and depth of the frame of mind of the claimants. At the same time we must keep this within the parameters of the dogmas of the Torah.

The Meddrash quotes the Chazal that Hashem loves orphans and widows since they lean on Him for their support. We are living in a period of poverty in direction of the true values of the Torah and Hashem surely will value our beseeching Him for direction.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.
