Daily Chizuk #1194
Weekly Parasha
Favor in His Eyes: Learning Who Hashem Is
Parashat Shoftim: Judging Favorably
The pasuk says in this week’s parasha, Shoftim, ושפטו את העם משפט צדק. The midrash explains this pasuk as a calling for us to think of ways to judge people favorably, understanding that we do not know all the information. As we begin to prepare for the upcoming Yamim Nora’im, we are looking to get as many zechuyot as we can. The Gemara says in Masechet Shabbat that if we will go against our nature and think of excuses why someone acted the way he did, and thereby continue to love him despite what he did to us, then as a reward Hashem will judge us favorably as well. What wouldl a person not do to get a favorable judgment by Hashem for the entire year?
We are not on the level to determine who will and who will not judge favorably and we don’t put people in those predicaments, but if we are ever in a position that we can go out of our way and overlook something by judging others favorably, we will be gaining tremendous zechuyot and all of the benefits that come along with them
Shabbat Shalom & Rosh Chodesh Tov!!!
