Have you ever stood at the crossroads of a moral quandary in the checkout line, or found yourself pondering the ethical implications of a simple financial transaction? We unfold the layers of Parshas Mishpatim, we traverse beyond the thunderous echoes of Sinai to the whispering wisdom that governs our everyday commerce. The divine linkage is undeniable, and as the Torah says 'Ve'eileh', we connect the dots from the revered commandments to the statutes that guide our daily business ethics. Join us on a journey through the profound necessity of integrity in our financial dealings, taking cues from the sage advice of Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, and exploring stories that challenge our moral compasses.The checkout counter becomes an arena of ethical consideration as we share tales of mistaken refunds and the perplexing outcomes of automated systems that challenge our understanding of 'right' and 'wrong'. We recount personal experiences that resulted in a surprising monetary dilemma and the rabbinic wisdom that helped navigate through the grey. As we unpack the distinction between the spirit and the letter of Torah law, we reveal the importance of each mitzvah in forging our bond with the Divine. It's a reflective expedition into the heart of our heritage, aiming to live a life of financial transparency and certainty in the path of Hashem's commandments.This episode (Ep 6.18) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Mishpatim is dedicated in Honor of our dear friend Yonah Nathan & our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!Download & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded in the TORCH Centre - Studio B to a live audience on February 6, 2024, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on February 7, 2024_____________DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.
