But it’s full of obligations: Obligations of a child to its parents; of a teacher to his or her pupil and vice versa; of a community to the poor; of the individual to the community; obligations to the orphaned, to the sick, to the convert; the obligations of man to G-d. Rights, however, are conspicuously absent from the Chumash. Why? Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair is a lecturer in Talmudic logic and Jewish Philosophy at the Ohr Somayach/Tanenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem. #judaism #rights #Hidabroot #Jewish #Jews #ohrsomayach #Parsha #Parsha #weeklytorahportion #obligations #ethics For more inspiring content: @Hidabrootcom
