The Torah is very clear that we need a secure border to prevent idolatrous ideas from entering our nation. That is why the Torah is clear what type of stranger is allowed into the country.

The pursuit of justice is a very important concept. While we may never achieve true justice, it does not mean that we do not try. The best that we can accomplish is to pursue it.

The Torah against the danger of corruption. No matter the reason corruption will destroys whatever society it afflicts. We should avoid it whenever possible.

The difference between Moses and Korach was that Moses did not want the job of being a leader but did it because he had to.

Korach made his power grab based on a misinterpretation of the state that "You will be Holy." The statement goes on to say that the Jews will be holy if they follow God's commandments. That they were not holy just because of their birth.

A great leader does not lead because he wants to but because he has to. And after he has accomplished what he set out to do he willingly gives up his office.

When Moses was at the burning bush he was commanded to take his shoes off. One of the reasons was he should feel the rough stones so that when he spoke to the Jews who were enslaved, he should understand their pain.

The Torah relates that when Moses saw the Egyptian task master beating a slave, he looked around and did not see a man. Meaning he saw lots of people but no one who was willing to take a stand. So he did.

The reason that the Tribe of Levi was not enslaved was because Levi was still alive when Pharaoh tricked the Jews into becoming slaves. He told his descendants that he smelled a rat. And he was right.
