Parashat Mishpatim 5785 | The God who Weeps

This week's Torah portion of Mishpatim describes an enigmatic, mystical vision: 'They saw the God of Israel, and under His feet was the likeness of sapphire brickwork...' This vision conveys a profound truth: The God of Israel is not detached, but deeply engaged in human affairs. He is with us in pain, and shares in the suffering of His children. The Torah portion of Mishpatim (Exodus 21 : 1 - 24 : 18) is read on Shabbat, 24 Shevat 5785 - February 22, 2025 Lovingly Recorded in Ora Studios, Jerusalem Israel _________ Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Please support the work of Jerusalem Lights, Inc., a USA recognized 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit organization to enable these productions to continue and grow: PayPal: infojerusalemlights@gmail.com or: https://paypal.me/JerusalemLights?locale.x=en_US In the USA: Jerusalem Lights Inc.
