Justice is the end of war

Hi,

"If there will be war or complaints between nations, they will come before Mashiach for justice, for he will be master of all nations, and he will teach them, telling the one who is crooked, “Straighten out that which has been made perverse for your plaintiff.” Therefore there will be no war between nations, for he will make peace between them and they will not need weapons."

(Radak to Michah 4:3)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

The Faith of Michah

Hi,

"I fell into the depths of the pit, but via this I will rise and become strong, for via this I will be saved. Even when I sit the darkness of troubles, Gd is light for me. If I lack physical light, the light of material success, I have the light of Gd, the light of religion and faith."

(Malbim to Michah 7:8)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

Michah's Three Principles of Judaism

Hi,

Michah 6:8 instructs us that Gd expects of us to, “Practice justice, love generosity and walk privately with Gd.”

On this Rav Yaakov Ettlinger commented:
“Michah specified three actitvities, representing three types of mitzvot: Between Man and Gd, between Man and Other, and between Man and Self.

“Between Man and Self – Practice justice, meaning to weigh all of one’s deeds to ensure that they are just, and he has no corruption in his hand.

“Between Man and Other – Love generosity, meaning providing acts of generosity between himself and another.

“Between Man and his Creator – Walk privately.”

(Aruch l’Ner to Makkot 24a)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
