A virtual event presentation by Rabbi Dr. Martin Lockshin
The event was co-sponsored by BMH-BJ
About the Event:
The Bible is full of commandments that say “do x” or “don’t do y,” almost always without specifying who is being addressed. When the Bible says not to mistreat widows and orphans, was it addressing judges? Or the wealthy? Or all of us?
