Shoftim: Judge, King, Priest, Prophet.

Posted by Pardes Faculty on August 30, 2022
Topics: Torah, Pardes from Jerusalem, Devarim (Deuteronomy), Shoftim

This week’s parsha depicts four modes of administration in ancient Israel. What are these four centers of societal leadership, and how do they interact? How does our parsha give us room to consider our own political climate? What does this say about our contemporary leadership?
