      Dvar Torah on the weekly portion from the Old City of Jerusalem


      As Moses continues to flesh out G-d's plan for a Torah based society in the land of Israel, one thing becomes crystal clear:

      The Holy Temple from which shines forth the Divine presence, (Shechina), is the light and the source of justice - how we treat our fellow man, and worship - how we stand before G-d.

      We cannot achieve justice between men if we do not stand before G-d, and we cannot stand before G-d if we do not seek justice between men.
