Moses - killed the Egyptian beating an Israelite slave, tried to make peace between two battling Israelites, fled to Midian and defended female shepards against marauding male shepards. Use multiple strategies in standing up for justice.
Is standing for justice the same as standing against injustice? Justice, justice shall you pursue we are reminded in the middle of Deuteronomy. Is telling a lie the same as not telling the truth? Is telling the truth the same as not lying? Is doing right the same as not doing wrong; or doing wrong the same as not doing right?
Telushkin continues, 60 days into the reading, to hammer home the idea that we are obligated to help the other, especially the stranger and the weakest among us.
