Here is a package of treasures for
each of us
Fulfill the Words That Cross Your Lips
Selections
from Ki Teitze in Deuteronomy 21.10
-25.9
Wherever
you go and wherever you are
This is the
camp of the Lord
When you
say you’ll do something, do it! Deut: 23.24
Fulfill the
words that cross your lips (such integrity
is empowering)
If you feel
impure, bathe in clean water
And
re-dedicate yourself to your most noble intentions
Use honest
weights and measures Deut: 25.13
With no
alternate weights in your pouch
In this way
endure in the land of your sacred inheritance
Don’t be
indifferent to another’s difficulties or losses
Assist
however you can
You’re
always free to divorce (No one owns another, but …)
When you
marry, consider it forever
Give
happiness to the person you marry
Do not
regularly dress yourself as someone you are not Deut: 22.5
Don’t pretend; be who you are
Do not
prostitute yourself
Even for
what you consider a sacred cause Deut: 23.18
Lend to
relatives and friends without charging interest
Thus, God
blesses you in all your undertakings
Never
defame anyone
Or speak
disrespectfully of their intimate life
Whoever
takes sexual advantage of an innocent woman or man
Must stand
face to face before our mother and father in heaven
Do not
abhor or exclude anyone who may derive
From
another culture, ethnic background or nationality
Including
those from races or lands where we were persecuted
Remember to
forget Amalek (our enemy over the ages) Deut:
25.17-19
“Beware of pride until your dying day” -– Baal Shem Tov. No
matter how successful or evolved, be always vigilant to see one’s own
foolishness
