Ki Teitzei (Deuteronomy 21:10–25:19)

/in

This Week’s Torah Portion: Ki Teitzei- כִּי-תֵצֵא (Deuteronomy 16:18-21:9)

“A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing, for Adonai your God detests anyone who does this.” (Deuteronomy 22:3)

Our ancestors were obsessed with organizing the world, everything needed to be in order that is why we cannot plow our fields using two kinds of animals, nor wear clothes that are a mixture of cotton and wool, or plant hybrid trees or vegetables.

They did not realize that what makes the world more interesting, what brings out life, is when we go out of the ordinary when we allow a man to wear a woman’s dress (just like Jacob did for Joseph) or vis- a verse. And the best fruits, cloths and vegetables and also humans are the hybrid ones who do not follow the roles and mix one species with the other.

Parsha Ki Teitzei Summary:

Moses reviews a wide variety of laws regarding family, animals, and property. (21:10–22:12) Various civil and criminal laws are delineated, including those regarding sexual relationships, interaction with non-Israelites, loans, vows, and divorce. (22:13–24:5) Laws of commerce pertaining to loans, fair wages, and proper weights and measures are given. (24:10–25:16) The parashah concludes with the commandment to remember for all time the most heinous act committed against the Israelites—Amalek’s killing of the old, weak, and infirm after the Israelites left Egypt. (25:17–19)
