Parashat Shoftim False Prophets

Parashat Shoftim is full of warnings to beware of the snares idolatry and false prophets. Rabbi Yaron Reuven says, that while we may not have false prophets using powers of sorcery to deceive people, the world is full of speakers and so called rabbis with the power of speech telling lies and deceiving people into thinking sins are great mitzvot. Our only protection is toiling in Torah, relying on the guidance of the Shoftim and Shotrim, the Jewish Sages, and cleaving to righteous Torah scholars. Be sure to read the weekly Parasha with

commentary.
