Hello Everyone,
The Torah as the expression of Hashem’s directions for how we should conduct ourselves contains mitzvot addressed to us as individuals and mitzvot that are addressed to us as a community.
Mitzvot addressed to us as individuals are mitzvot such as Shabbat, kahshrut and charity and these are mitzvot that we can learn about in Shulchan Aruch.
Mitzvot that are addressed to the community of the Jewish people include the mitzvah to create a judicial system and the mitzvah to appoint a king.
In this series of shiurim we will look at these two mitzvot and see how they are interpreted and how they can be applied today.
