Given the assault on our justice system, the FBI and federal judges, not to mention other democratic institutions, this week’s Parsha, Shoftim, couldn’t be more right on.

“18 Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town the Eternal your God is giving you, and they shall judge the people fairly. 19 Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the innocent. 20 Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the Eternal your God is giving you.”

At a time when wildfires are raging out West

At a time when wildfires are raging out West, across Europe, Greece and Turkey and Covid is taking more lives in so many countries, we can take some solace in the passage in the Senate of a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan on Tuesday. For weeks, months, we have agonized over and witnessed the efforts of this administration and dedicated democrats and enough republicans to overcome many hurdles in order to significantly move this Infrastructure plan forward.
