A Generation’s Judge (Parashat Devarim)

July 24, 2009 | By Cynthia Hoffman

Topic(s): Marriage and Weddings

Media Type(s): Torah Commentary

This resource is part of the Torah Queeries collection.

The author discusses the position the Torah portion appears to take on the issue of rendering judgment, and the ways in which distance from certain events permits clearer judgment of the events themselves. She asks what it means for the next generation to hear about the previous one, and relates this to the fight for gay marriage and generational differences of opinion on this issue.
