Parshat Shoftim this week is brought to you by Y-Love, your favorite Modern Orthodox Jewish Hip Hop Superstar!
I spent the night in Teaneck, NJ with Y-Love and our mutual friend Marino after a Shemspeed gig. It was awesome. Walking down the suburban NJ streets talking about Hashem and how we're going to take over the world.
This week is about justice. And it's hard to feel justice when you are on tour: getting stiffed by clubs, uninterested bar rats, broken down tour vehicles, starving on your ramen noodle diet. But this parshat reminds us that what we consider justice is not impartial. That is why we need a system of injustice which is partial to no one.
Y-Love said it best, so I leave it to him.
Brilliant!!
