Parashas Mishpatim

Our Parsha this Shabbos is Parashas Mishpatim and includes many Laws that HaShem gave to Moshe for us to follow.
We have just received the Ten Commandments and now, Moshe relates the detailed Laws of HaShem ,to our people.
The word. 'Mishpatim' means 'Ordinances,' which are strict Laws to live by that will be overseen by our Sanhedrin,who will ensure that the Laws are kept truthfully.Within the word 'Mishpatim' is the word 'Shofet' which means 'Judge,'. So these are Laws to be Judged by ,that will come with Judgement ,should they not be kept.We are in front of HaShem,the True Judge,all the time who weighs our deeds and hopefully gives mercy to our actions.But HaShem wants us,by living by His Laws and Morals,to be a Judge unto ourselves,not just judging others and looking outwards,but mostly looking within ourselves ,to where we can correct ourselves .We must always watch our actions and behaviour,whether we are alone or among others.The best representatives we can be for HaShem ,is to set a morally pure example ,so we can show to others how to be and so,,lead others to HaShem through our own example.
The word 'Mishpatim,' is in the plural to show. ,not just that many Laws are in this Parshah,but also to remind us to not just judge those around us but also ourselves at every minute we breathe,constantly trying to better ourselves ,as best we can.
We are human,prone to the temptation of the Yetzer Harah,which constantly tries to pull us away.It tries in many ways to lead us astray.So HaShem took care of that,by protecting us from it ,in the form of governing our lives with Laws that watch over us in every instantt ,so that we can overcome every attempt of the Yetzer Harah.
When HaShem Created this world,our Rabbis tell us that HaShem Created this world with pure Justice and HaShem's attribute of 'Judgement' - 'Elokim,' and ,because HaShem knew that we ,being human,couldn't make it with pure Judgement alone,,added His attribute of mercy - 'A-nai,' so that this world could continue ,for without mercy we would not survive ,as we are but human,constantly making mistakes.This same mercy,we need to display to others when they show true repentance for wronging us,as long as they show they have changed their ways.We too,when we wrong HaShem,must not just feel sorry but also show we are sorry,by changing our ways and fixing the wrong we did. HaShem loves Teshuvah for , in doing Teshuvah,we return to HaShem and get close to HaShem.But we are not to rely on taking for granted,HaShem's mercy.We need to follow the Laws HaShem gave us,for that is where the true path is,when returning to HaShem .
HaShem gave us many Laws , so this means that HaShem needs to keep very busy , seeing to it that we keep these Laws , by watching over each and every person HaShem makes.This shows a great deal of Love from HaShem , as HaShem is constantly caring for us and trying to correct us , making sure we are keeping His Laws . So we need to remember that HaShem keeps His eyes on us all the time and we also need to show HaShem how much we love Him by following HaShem's precious Torah. 
In our Parsha,HaShem gave the first Law in Mishpatim as being about a Jewish bondsman.Why would HaShem start off this Chapter (after giving to us the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai) , with the subject of a Jewish bondsman who works for a Jew for six years and should be set free in the seventh year.?Why is this the first Mishpat (Ordinance) mentioned here?
HaShem wants to remind us that we are HaShem's and that we do not belong to any man or woman ,for we only belong to HaShem.And so,HaShem Creates a limit of 6 years and then,the bondsman will go free in the seventh year.This is like the Commandment from HaShem,to work six days and rest on Shabbos,also reminding us that HaShem Created the world and it is on Shabbos,the seventh day that we are to rest.Thus HaShem is reminding us that we are all under HaShem and all things around us are from HaShem.We are not tied to man.We are only under G-D.To remember that,is to remember Whose world this is - The world of HaShem and that we are to keep the instruction and the Law of G-D,Whose world this is,acting only as HaShem needs us to act.At any given moment,Laws come up that need to be kept and when they do,we are again reminded that this is HaShem's world and we are only sojourners here.The Mishpatim remind us of this.
It was once discussed what is the most important Law to keep.It was decided that every Law is important and each Law gains its importance at the very time ,that Law comes up to be kept and done.So at all times,we are reminded that this is HaShem's world and all things we are given,are a gift from HaShem to us to use for our benefit.HaShem is constantly giving us gifts of love and when we make a Blessing on partaking of something,we are also asking HaShem's permission to partake of that which is His and acknowledging that all is from HaShem.
This is what the Laws and Ordinances - 'Mishpatim' are also about,,to engage us at all times with HaShem and to remember at all times that all is HaShem's and so,we get closer to HaShem with each Mishpat we keep.
So let our Holy Torah become a part of every Jew and may we come to follow The Torah of light ,keeping the Mishpatim as we continue to draw closer to HaShem in faithfulness .
With love to HaShem,I wish HaShem with love,a Holy Shabbos Kodesh with love and to all,a Holy Shabbos Kodesh with love.
