1. The Laws of Damages - A "Declaration of Human Rights"

   Rabbi Elchanan Samet

   There seems to be no logical order to the laws of damages. The order is based on the person damaged, not the inflictor of damage. Why did the Torah choose this order? Apparently the Torah was interested in conveying a message about human rights, and so places personal damages at the forefront, followed by damages to animals and property.
