Justice is Blind
This week’s
parasha, Shofetim, covers judges, worshipping other gods, the idea of a king in
the Promised Land, how Levites were to be provided for, and war time. Hashem
wanted unbiased magistrates and officials, telling them “Justice, justice shall
you pursue, that you may thrive and occupy the land that the L-rd your G-d is
giving you.” (Deut. 16:20) We too, must
heed that command. They say “justice is blind” and I believe that is because we
should look with our hearts and not just our eyes.
