B’Tzedek Tirdof Tzedek: The Just Pursuit of Justice
August 21, 2020
“‘Tzedek, tzedek tirdof’ — ‘justice, justice shall you pursue’ — refers to the manner in which we seek justice,” says Rabbi Shira Gluck. “It is not enough to pursue justice; every action taken to achieve that justice must be done in a just manner. So what qualifies as just justice? The Torah is clear: justice is only justice when it applies to everyone equally.”
