The Torah emphasizes the importance of moral integrity and ethical conduct in building a just society. The laws delivered after the Ten Commandments focus on personal moral conduct and the formation of an ethical society. These laws address the treatment of slaves, the dignity of vulnerable members of society, and the role of Shabbat and festivals in fostering social cohesion. The Torah provides a blueprint for constructing a moral civilization rooted in justice, fairness, and the safeguarding of human dignity and freedom. Orthodox Jews should not hesitate to champion social justice, as it is an integral part of our tradition and mission.
