Parshat Devarim- Who the Judge, You the Judge!

In this weeks Parsha, Parshat Devarim, Hashem tells Moshe, to gather Bnei Yisroel and review all the Mitzvot with them. The speech lasts 5 weeks, the entire Sefer Devarim which is why Sefer Devarim is called Mishne Torah. One of the things he talks about in this Parsha is finding a new judge. Moshe has been the only judge up until now for 3 million people, so he begins a search for a new judge only Tzadikim may apply. There are a bunch of rules in order to be a judge for Bnei Yisroel, and that person must abide by all of them. I chose to make gavel cupcakes to represent the picking of the new judge. May Hashem judge us all favorably and send us some peace soon!

Good Shabbos
