Ki Teitzei | Deuteronomy 21:10 -25:19

 

This week’s Torah portion, Ki Teitzei, challenges us with a powerful lesson: even when we have endured suffering, we must learn to acknowledge the good and avoid living with hate in our hearts.

From the Egyptians who once enslaved Israel to the Edomites, Moabites, and Ammonites, the Torah teaches us how to balance memory, gratitude, and justice. But what about today?

What do these verses teach us about how to view our enemies in Gaza? Should we hate them—or is there a deeper path forward? Join us for this week’s reflection on Parshat Ki Teitzei, where timeless Torah wisdom meets today’s pressing realities.

 

Shabbat Shalom!
