Is the Humash a book of laws? Until now, it has been mostly stories. Parashat Mishpatim is finally a parasha that almost entirely discusses laws. We're going to try to understand that not only does Humash teach us lessons about laws through stories, but that there are a lot of lessons that can be learned from the way that laws are presented. We take a look at the structure and style of Parashat Mishpatim and note that the laws about interactions between man and his fellow man are bracketed by sections of laws about how to serve God, who desires that we follow Avraham's path of justice and righteousness.
