To the wisdom of the Torah, the wisdom of the Talmud, the wisdom of the Rabbis and to the wisdom of those who were appointed to judge others fairly, we owe our current system of law and justice, right and wrong.
Because of this wisdom, we have been allowed to live our lives according to our own choosing.
We have been allowed to grow old in peace and harmony.
