Google Bard Divar Torah Shoftim Elul and there Still time to join Rabbi Stefansky Daf Yomi Shiur and get your free gemara

Introduction We are now in the month of Elul, a time of introspection and preparation for the High Holidays. It is also the month when Daf Yomi finishes the tractate of Gittin and begins the tractate of Kiddushin. In the tractate of Gittin, we learn about the laws of divorce. This is a topic that is often associated with sadness and loss. However, the Torah also teaches us that divorce can be a necessary step in order to achieve justice and peace. The tractate of Kiddushin, on the other hand, is about the laws of marriage. This is a topic that is often associated with joy and love. However, the Torah also teaches us that marriage is a serious commitment that requires both partners to be responsible and dedicated. The Importance of Justice The Torah begins the Parshat Shoftim with the words, "Justice, justice shall you pursue." This is a call for us to always strive for justice, both in our personal lives and in the world around us. Justice is not always easy to achieve. There are often competing interests and difficult decisions to be made. However, it is important to never give up on the pursuit of justice. When we do justice, we are not only doing what is right, but we are also helping to create a more just and equitable world. The Importance of Love The Parshat Shoftim also teaches us about the importance of love. The Torah says, "Love your fellow as yourself." This is a call for us to treat each other with compassion and respect, regardless of our differences. Love is not always easy to express. It can be difficult to love someone who has hurt us or who we disagree with. However, it is important to remember that love is the foundation of a just and compassionate society. When we love each other, we are creating a world where everyone feels safe and valued. Conclusion The Parshat Shoftim teaches us about the importance of justice and love. These are two of the most important values in the Torah, and they are essential for creating a just and compassionate world. As we enter the month of Elul, let us reflect on these values and commit ourselves to living a life of justice and love. Let us also use this time to prepare for the High Holidays by deepening our connection to God and to each other. I would like to add a few words about the Daf Yomi program. Daf Yomi is an amazing initiative that has inspired millions of people to study the Talmud. It is a great way to learn about the Torah and to connect with our Jewish heritage. If you are interested in learning more about Daf Yomi, I encourage you to visit the website of the Mercaz Daf Yomi. They offer a variety of resources to help you get started, including free audio recordings of the Daf Yomi shiur. I hope that you will join me in studying the Torah and in striving for justice and love. Together, we can create a better world. I would also like to offer a link to the free gemara that you mentioned. You can find it here. I hope this Divar Torah is helpful and inspiring. Thank you for listening.
