Episode Title: Shoftim – Jewish Royalty

In this week’s parashah, Shoftim, the Torah introduces us to the idea of Jewish monarchy. But what does it mean to have a king in Israel? Unlike the grandeur and power-driven models of kingship in other nations, the Torah’s vision of royalty is radically different: a king bound by humility, Torah law, and responsibility to his people.

In this episode, we explore the laws of leadership laid out in Shoftim, the balance between authority and accountability, and the timeless lessons about true power, ego, and service. From the command to write a personal Sefer Torah to the prohibition against accumulating wealth and horses, we’ll see how Jewish kingship was meant to shape not just politics—but the moral fabric of the nation.

Join us as we uncover what Shoftim teaches about leadership, and how the Torah’s model of royalty remains deeply relevant for anyone striving to lead with integrity today.
