Biblical Faith – with Sam Peak
Daily Torah series available Sunday-Friday.
But G-d’s contract with us is not that of a usurious money-lender, but of a heter iska investor. He extends us the capital and insists on payment in return, but He stresses that this is a partnership, an ongoing involvement. He retains His stake in the capital throughout our use of it, being affected, as we are, by the ups and downs of the market of our lives.

On the cosmic historical level of “Nezikin”, the three gates of Nezikin can be seen as three phases of social development of man. In the “first gate”, we encounter human society acting in abase and barbaric state because the Laws of Institution, whose function is to deal with criminal and violent behavior among its members, are wrapped up in the “will to receive for themselves alone.”

Exodus 21:1–24:18; Fire is ever present in our surroundings and in our souls. It is our challenge to control fire and to transform it to positive power. It is within ourselves to control our actions in either “evil inclination” or “good inclination”.

Exodus 21:1–24:18; Sefer haB’rit (The Book of the Convenant) spells out ways to arrive at mishpatim (rulings). This parashat begins: “V’eleh ha-mispatim asher tasim lifneihem (And these are the rulings you are to set before them).” Sefer haB’rit is not really a law code of commandments to be observed. Rather, it is a guide for writing rulings to add enforcement provisions to the principles of Aseret ha Dibrot (the Ten Words).
