WHEN YOU GO OUT
&#160;

This week’s Torah reading in Deuteronomy 21-25 starts with the words Kee Tey-tzey &#8211; &#8220;When you go out.&#8221; 

 In the course of the Sedrah we find many different laws, dealing with situations as different as family discipline, punishment of crime, and treatment of animals. Truly a summary of standards for human behavior. Any [...]]]></description>

Do you like variety in your learning? You get plenty of it in the Sedrah called &#8220;R’eyh&#8221; &#8212; in Deuteronomy chapters 11 thru 16. Here we find subjects like sacrificial worship, idolatry in the family or in a whole city, dietary laws, treatment of the poor, paying tithes, the three pilgrimage festivals, the year of [...]]]></description>
