Echoes of Elul: Day 24

DOING JUSTICE

“Righteous justice you shall pursue!” -Deuteronomy 16:11

Establishing fair courts, protecting the vulnerable, treating wage laborers fairly, caring for the earth, and so much more. When the biblical prophets express God’s anger at the people for failing to “DO justice”, at the core of their critique was society’s inability to uphold the laws concerning the vulnerable (the stranger, the widow, the orphan, the poor). Jewish justice is a substantive vision of what human life could and should be.

Glimmers shone brightly from the work of our social action committee members this year as they educated, advocated, and took to the streets. Oseh Mishpat – DOING justice at Micah is as easy as responding to the needs of others.
