Mishpatim 2020
Reading through the Sedra, the first verse in Revii jumped off the page at me. ‘You shall not curse a judge, neither shall you curse a prince among your people (Shemot 22:27).’ It did not seem to follow on from what came before, nor connect with what comes after. I looked at the hebrew text and didn’t see the word I expected for judge – shofet, but Elokim which has a completely different connotation for me, being one of the names of Hashem.
