Description

The Torah addresses the inner ta'avas of a person, as opposed to secular governments which just tame them. In order to really change ourself, we must change our inner thoughts. By learning Choshen Mishpat ( laws of social conduct) we learn how to straighten ourselves out. The expulsion from Gush Katif shows us how low we’ve sunk. The leaders of the State of Israel are immoral. Jews who beat other Jews in the expulsion are a part of the Erev Rav (mixed multitude). Secular Jews in Israel were more concerned with animals then they were with the people being expelled. Choshen Mishpat teaches us the absolute truth.
