Shoftim:u/dystopia


The parsha continues a vision of the future. When Israel enters the land...It sets an order to the society with judges and officers and priests, perhaps a king, criminals, wars and ecology.

The judges, shoftim, can simplify life (poshtim) or they can be simpletons (tipshim).
Now that there is land of Israel, the vision has meaning. I think that צֶדֶק צֶדֶק, תִּרְדֹּף--לְמַעַן תִּחְיֶה וְיָרַשְׁתָּ אֶת-הָאָרֶץ
has, for the most part, goverened that state.
May it continue so.
