What you'll find
This publication explores the concept of "tzedek tzedek tirdof," emphasizing that righteousness requires ethical means and that stringencies should not come at the expense of others or sensitivity.
Summary
This drasha for Parshas Shoftim explores the pasuk 'tzedek tzedek tirdof' (righteousness, righteousness you shall pursue), emphasizing that we must pursue righteousness through righteous means—not at others' expense. Through stories of Yaakov Avinu, Rav Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz's 'challah with an inferiority complex,' the Chazon Ish, and Rav Yisroel Salanter, the piece demonstrates that stringency or mitzvah observance becomes misplaced when it harms the people around us.
