Just Justice
Episode 347
Wednesday, 27 August, 2025
“Tzedek, tzedek tirdof—justice, justice shall you pursue” (Deut. 16:20) has been understood by our sages as far more than legal fairness. In this meditation, we reflect on the many layers of tzedek: charity that lifts the vulnerable, justice that restores balance, righteousness that aligns heart and action. We explore how both ends and means must be just, how law is tempered by compassion, and how truth and peace must guide our steps. Tzedek lives in wisdom and discernment, and is realized in word and deed, thought and action. As you settle into stillness, let the call to pursue justice echo within you—not as a demand of perfection, but as an invitation to wholeness. This practice invites you to breathe into the depth of tzedek, cultivating presence, integrity, and kindness, so that your pursuit of justice is not only outward in the world, but also inward, in the way you live, speak, and embody your values.
