#ShabbatShalom - Welcome to this week’s Torah Portion, which is called Shoftim (Judges). This is the portion of Scripture that will be read this week during the Shabbat (Saturday) morning services in synagogues around the world. Please read along with us; we know you will be blessed!
Last week, in Parasha Re'eh, God set a blessing and a curse before the Israelites. The blessing was a result of obeying God's commandments and the curse a result of forsaking them. In this week’s Torah portion, Moses instructed the nation of Israel in the appointing of judges (called shoftim in Hebrew) and law enforcement officers (called shotrim) to administer justice. These judges and officers would not only teach but also interpret the laws of the Torah. Who killed Yeshua, Jesus (Your Messiah), will be revealed as you read this week’s Parasha.

Simchat Torah Beit Midrash - Joy of God’s Teaching and Instruction
What Does It Mean to Choose Life? Every decision you make can be made in a way that you are “choosing life.” The Torah is God’s constitution; it is His teaching and instruction; it is eternal and it is life. His Spirit is pure Light, abundant with untouchable, supreme, sovereign power.
God is the Source of all life.
שֹׁפְטִים Shoftim means “judges.” Justice, justice shall you pursue ...
Bal tashchit (do not destroy or waste) is a central, ethical principle in Jewish law. While it is perfectly fine to use God’s creation and make use of its natural resources, it is forbidden to unnecessarily destroy anything that benefits humanity. It is also prohibited to waste water, energy, clothing, and money. By learning not to wantonly destroy, we are learning to respect and value all creation. It teaches us self-control so that we can be people who build rather than people who destroy. When we consume resources in a sensible way without wasting, we become more conscious about what is around us and more thankful for what we’ve been given. Every little change and decision we make to champion a healthy, balanced world can have a domino effect on our families, the people around us, and our planet at large.

In this week’s Parsha Shoftim,
Moses instructs the people of Israel to appoint judges and law enforcement administrators in every city. “Justice, justice shall you pursue,” Moses explains, without corruption or favoritism to the rich or powerful. In my mind, I think of the scales of justice in perfect balance. On my plate, I think of the scales of a delicious butterflied fish.

Appoint judges [shoftim] and officials [shotrim] for each of your tribes in every town the Lord your God is giving you,
and they shall judge [shafat] the people fairly [tzedek mishpat / righteous judgment]. Deuteronomy 16:18
Shabbat Shalom - Parasha Shoftim (Judges) - who killed Yeshua !!!
Who killed Yeshua, Jesus (Your Messiah), will be revealed as you read this week’s Parasha (Torah Portion), which is named Shoftim (Judges).
Shabbat Shalom
This is the portion of Scripture that will be read this week during the Shabbat (Saturday) morning services in synagogues around the world. Please read along with us; we know you will be blessed!
SHOFTIM (Judges)
Deuteronomy 16:18–21:9; Isaiah 51:12–52:12; Mark 14:53–64
“Appoint judges [shoftim] and officials [shotrim] for each of your tribes in every town the Lord your God is giving you, and they shall judge [shafat] the people fairly [tzedek mishpat / righteous judgment].” (Deuteronomy 16:18)
A Jewish youth wearing tefillin (phylacteries) reads from the Torah scroll,
keeping his place with a yad (Torah pointer).
Last week, in Parasha Re'eh, God set a blessing and
a curse before the Israelites.
The blessing was a result of obeying God's commandments and the curse a result of forsaking them.
a curse before the Israelites.
The blessing was a result of obeying God's commandments and the curse a result of forsaking them.
In this week’s Torah portion, Moses instructed the nation of Israel in the appointing of judges (called shoftim in Hebrew) and law enforcement officers (called shotrim) to administer justice. These judges and officers would not only teach but also interpret the laws of the Torah.
What is the difference between a judge and an officer? A judge refers to one qualified to deliver judgments according to the laws of the Torah. The officer then enforces these legal judgments, even by force if necessary.
The Hebrew prophet Isaiah promised that there would come a day when judges would be restored as in the days of old: “I shall restore your judges [shoftim] as at first, and your counselors [yaats] as at the beginning.” (Isaiah 1:26)
Although Isaiah mentions the judges, the officers do not appear in this prophecy, but rather “counselors.”
A Jewish boy reads the Jewish prayer book at
the Western (Wailing) Wall.
Why will counselors replace the role of officers?
In the days of redemption, when the Messiah returns to rule and reign in righteousness, there will be no need for “enforcers” of the Torah.
In the Messianic era, all will have such a deep desire to follow and obey the Lord that only counselors will be needed to explain and clarify (not to enforce) the decisions of the judges.
Even today (before that great day of the Lord that is to come) those who are truly in Messiah do not need external coercion to keep God’s commandments and judgments.
For when we have been given a new heart and a new spirit, there arises within us a desire to keep God’s laws and commandments, not in a spirit of legalism, but out of a heart of love:
“I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.” (Ezekiel 36:27)
For those who believe in Yeshua (Jesus) but do not observe His commandments in the Torah, the question we need to ask is, “Why not?”
Either the person is not truly following Yeshua and filled with His Holy Spirit, or they have received and accepted a teaching of false grace which erroneously emphasizes freedom from guilt over freedom from sin.
Certainly, Yeshua did not pay the ultimate price to set us free from bondage to sin so that we can continue sinning without guilt.
"Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness."
(1 John 3:4)
(1 John 3:4)
An open Torah scroll
Pursuing Justice for All
“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.” (Deuteronomy 16:19)
This Parasha warns that judges (or magistrates) are not to show any kind of partiality or favoritism. They are forbidden from accepting a bribe. It is written that God shows no favoritism but accepts anyone from any nation who fears Him and does what is right (Acts 10:34).
Justice has always been a fundamental value in Judaism; therefore, it was to be administered without corruption. Difficult cases could be referred to a higher court, which was called the Sanhedrin in Second Temple times.
"Tzedek, tzedek tirdof — Justice, justice you shall pursue." (Deuteronomy 16:20)
A thorough investigation of crimes was required, and in order to deliver punishment upon a criminal, a minimum of two credible witnesses were required.
As we shall see, this is why the trial of Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah) was completely unjust and contrary to Jewish law — and yet it was God’s will that He suffer and die on the execution stake.
A Jewish young woman buries her face in a siddur (Jewish prayer book)
as she prays at the Western (Wailing) Wall.
Who Killed Yeshua?
The question is often asked, “Who killed Yeshua?”
Usually, the blame is placed upon the Jews, with accusations of “Christ Killer” fueling the fires of anti-Semitism over the centuries. But is this accusation true?
To answer that, we only need to look at the record of Yeshua’s trial.
Yeshua did not receive a trial by jury. In Jewish law, the judge would hear and evaluate an accusation from two impartial witnesses. If two or three witnesses would agree, the judge would issue a conviction; but in Yeshua’s case, the witnesses against Him presented false testimony.
“The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for testimony against Yeshua to put Him to death, but they could find none. For many were giving false testimony against Him, but the testimonies did not agree.” (Mark 14:55–56)
Because the testimony of the witnesses did not agree, the judges could not convict him.
Thus, the Sanhedrin had no other choice but to ask Yeshua directly if He claimed to be the Messiah, the Son of God — a charge to which He confessed, thereby positioning Himself as being guilty of blasphemy, which carried the death penalty.
“Again the high priest questioned Him, ‘Are You the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?’
“‘I am,’ said Yeshua, ‘and all of you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.’
“Then the high priest tore his robes and said, ‘Why do we still need witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy! What is your decision?’
“And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.”
(Mark 14:61–64)
(Mark 14:61–64)
The False Witnesses, by James Tissot (Brooklyn Museum)
This interrogation essentially reveals that neither the Jewish Sanhedrin nor the Roman authorities could have killed Yeshua without His cooperation.
Even some of the Roman soldiers came to believe that Yeshua truly was the Son of God.
“When the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Yeshua, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they were terrified and said, ‘This man really was God’s Son!’” (Matthew 27:54)
So to answer the question of who killed Yeshua, we only need to look at His trial to see that He willingly gave the authorities the “confession” they needed to condemn Him to death.
Yeshua, however, said that He lay down His life of His own accord — to save us from our sins as the promised Messiah.
He said by His own words, “The reason My Father loves Me is that I lay down My life — only to take it up again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from My Father.” (John 10:17–18)
The Crucifixion, Seen From the Execution Stake,
by James Tissot
Keeping the Nation Holy
“You are to be holy to Me because I, the LORD, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be My own.” (Leviticus 20:26)
One purpose God chose a people for Himself was so He could show the world what holiness looks like. Parasha Shoftim, therefore, forbids the following:
Idolatry
In the 17th chapter of Deuteronomy, God prohibits idolatry. Anyone found guilty of this crime would be stoned to death according to the laws of the Torah, upon the testimony of two or three witnesses.
“On the testimony of two or three witnesses a person is to be put to death, but no one is to be put to death on the testimony of only one witness.” (Deuteronomy 17:6)
Why were such harsh penalties in place for worshiping false gods?
Although in our day, there exists a great emphasis on human rights and free choice, God's law is concerned with preserving purity and Godliness.
By purging evil from the nation, holiness was protected.
“The hands of the witnesses must be the first in putting that person to death, and then the hands of all the people. You must purge the evil from among you.” (Deuteronomy 17:7)
"Go to the Levitical priests and to the judge who is in
office at that time. Inquire of them and they will give
you the verdict." (Deuteronomy 17:9)
The Occult
All forms of occult practices also carried the death penalty.
These included many spiritual practices that are commonplace today and for the most part widely accepted: sorcery, divination, fortune telling, astrology, wizardry, and listening to psychics, mediums or those who act as a channel for spirits of the dead.
God acknowledges that pagans participate in the occult, but these practices are part of what leads to the downfall of nations and they are forbidden for any of God’s people.
Receiving guidance from one’s astrological chart, reading palms or tea leaves, attending séances, or even using Ouiji boards are not permitted for people of God; nevertheless, many today (either in ignorance or defiance of the law) read books about wizards and dabble in the occult.
This is a dangerous spiritual path.
“The nations you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery or divination. But as for you, the LORD your God has not permitted you to do so.” (Deuteronomy 18:14)
Two Jewish men and a boy walk together in Israel.
False Prophets
Lying and deception is another form of evil that taints holiness.
Israel is warned to beware of false prophets. Only those whose words come true are to be trusted as true prophets of God.
“If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.” (Deuteronomy 18:22)
