This Week’s Torah Portion: Ki Teitzei – כִּי-תֵצֵא (Deuteronomy 21:10–25:19)

לֹֽא־תִרְאֶה֩ אֶת־שׁ֨וֹר אָחִ֜יךָ א֤וֹ אֶת־שֵׂיוֹ֙ נִדָּחִ֔ים וְהִתְעַלַּמְתָּ֖ מֵהֶ֑ם הָשֵׁ֥ב תְּשִׁיבֵ֖ם לְאָחִֽיךָ׃

 You shall not see the ox or the sheep of your neighbor slip away and ignore them; you are required to return it to them. – Deuteronomy 22:1

The Torah commands us to love our neighbor as ourselves, and here we are reminded that the commandment even includes the animals of our neighbors. If we can love our neighbor’s animals, all the more so we should strive to love our neighbor!
