In every generation, the Jewish people are called to remember one truth: “You were strangers in the land of Egypt” (Exodus 22:21). This single commandment echoes more times throughout the Torah than Shabbat or even dietary laws, a divine refrain urging empathy, compassion, and justice for the outsider. In our…

In Judaism, the concept of sin (chet) is not defined by guilt, shame, or original corruption—as it is in some other religious traditions—but rather by missing the mark.
