Quotes from David H. Stern

Believers are expected to be involved in what Judaism calls tikkun-ha'olam, repairing the world. Tikkun-ha'olam is deeply embedded in the Jewish ethic; for this reason even secular Jews usually find themselves concerned with bettering society.

Judaism: A Modern Movement with an Ancient Past

The curse of the law" is not the curse of having to live within the framework of Torah for the Torah itself is good. Nor is it the curse of being required to obey the Torah but lacking the power to do so

Paul's point is that that curse falls on people who are actually trying to obey the Torah if their efforts are grounded in legalism

the Tanakh itself requires genuine obedience to emerge from faith

The purpose of life and the meaning of history is that God will deliver humanity from the misery of sin and restore the conditions that enable individuals and peoples to relate rightly with him. Morality and happiness are inseparably linked with salvation.

However, Sha'ul's point throughout the passage, and indeed throughout Romans, is that for Jews and Gentiles alike there has never been more than one route to righteousness, namely, trusting God; so that the Torah is built on trusting God and from beginning to end has always required faith.

A woman is not to wear men's clothing, and a man is not to put on women's clothing, for whoever does these things is detestable to ADONAI your God.

You are to appoint judges and officers for all your gates [in the cities] ADONAI your God is giving you, tribe by tribe; and they are to judge the people with righteous judgment. 19 You are not to distort justice or show favoritism, and you are not to accept a bribe, for a gift blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of even the upright. 20 Justice, only justice, you must pursue; so that you will live and inherit the land ADONAI your God is giving you.

14 But solid food is for the mature, for those whose faculties have been trained by continuous exercise to distinguish good from evil.

6 Most people announce that they show kindness, but who can find someone faithful [enough to do it]?

2 A fool takes no pleasure in trying to understand; he only wants to express his own opinion.

5 It is not good to be partial to the guilty and thus deprive the innocent of justice.
