- Torah Portion and Tanach
- Ki Tetze
145
Among the many other topics in our Parsha there are the following: The rebellious son & how to deal with him; the command to shoo away the mother-bird before taking her young ("shiluach ha-ken"), the prohibition of mixing wool & linen ("sha’atnez"), adultery, divorce, kidnapping, & the need to pay workers in a timely fashion.
The Torah also warns us to show extra care for the widow & orphan, & to be honest in all our business dealings. We are bidden to recall daily the Exodus from Egypt, which we mention in our Tefilot & in Kiddush on Shabbat & Chag.
Our Parsha - which is so centered on Chesed - closes with the admonition to utterly wipe out Amalek & their progeny, until no memory remains of them or their hateful, barbaric behavior. This, too, is a Chesed!
