   Episode 5: The Ninth and Tenth Commandments

   When It Displeases the Court: Truth, Testimony, and the Ninth Commandment What does it mean to speak “the whole truth, and nothing but the truth”? The Torah’s prohibition on false testimony is a deeper call to honor truth itself in all spheres of life. The Green-Eyed Monster: Envy and the End of the Decalogue Why does the Ten Commandments end with “Thou shalt not covet”? This surprising finale unlocks the purpose of the entire code—and shows how civilization depends on  them.

   Episode 4: The Seventh and Eighth Commandments

   Family and the Seventh Commandment Adultery is not only a private failing—it strikes at the covenantal heart of marriage. This commandment shows how Jewish tradition links faith in family to faith in God. Life, Liberty, and Judaism: The Eighth Commandment and the Birth of Human Rights “Thou shalt not steal.” Just two words in Hebrew—but within them lies a revolutionary idea: that liberty and property are moral concepts, and that justice begins with respecting what belongs to others.

   Episode 3: The Fifth and Sixth Commandments

   God, Father, and Mother: The Partnership That Defines the Jewish Family Why is honoring one’s parents listed alongside commandments about God? Judaism sees family as a sacred partnership in creation and as the foundation of faith itself. Human Life and the Divine Life: The Sixth Commandment “All humans are created in the image of God”—but what does that mean? The commandment not to murder offers a moral insight that shaped the West and needs to be recovered today.
