this weeks Torah Portion speaks to us about the principle of Justice!

in all our Gates which refers to all our orifices including our eyes, ears, nostrils and mouth. we must guard the entrance of sin and transgression by practicing piety and holiness.

our Gates also refer to the Torah learning and doing good deeds. when we subject ourselves to the diaspora mentality we are vulnerable to the judgment of the Secular world which aims at the refinement of the guilty!

when we immerse our thoughts and deeds to do what the Torah teaches us we regain our closeness to G-d’s will! which ultimately brings us happiness, merit and peace! We must judge ourselves first… and judge others favorably to truly be blessed for a great year with the coming of the Messiah speedily in our Days!
