Here are some overarching thoughts to keep in mind while reading parsha Shoftim:

• Torah often links the qualities of truth (emet) and lovingkindness (chesed). This reminds us that truth must be tempered with love. Paul’s well-known exhortation is a clear example: “Speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into Him who is the Head, into Messiah” (Ephesians 4:15).
• Likewise, the concept of justice (tzedek) is often linked with compassion or mercy (rachamim): “Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; grace and truth attend You” (Psalm 89:14).
