Eisikovits eisikovits1@gmail.com 2 The Thief Who Won’t Climb Back Up Parshas Mishpatim Rabbi Yissocher Frand The beginning of Parshas Mishpatim contains the halachos of the Eved Ivri, the person who was sold into slavery (for lack of ability to make restitution for money or property he stole). At that point, the pasuk says, “But if the slave shall say ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children – I shall not go free.’ Then the master shall bring him to the court and shall bring him to the door or to the doorpost and his master shall bore through his ear with the awl, and he shall serve him forever.” (Shemos 21:5-6) A famous Rashi here teaches in the name of Rav Yochanan ben Zakkai that the ear was chosen to be bored to teach a homiletic lesson: That ear which heard on Har Sinai “Thou shalt not steal” and he nevertheless stole—that ear shall be pierced.

The Medrash explains that the Navi is talking about the future, when Knesses Yisrael will say before the Almighty “Master of the Universe, I see the places where I have sinned, and I am embarrassed by them.” The pasuk is talking about the future time when Klal Yisrael will desire to do teshuva. I will get rid of them as it is written “Behold I will create a new Heaven and a new Earth, the earlier ones will not be remembered, they will no longer come upon the heart.” (Yeshaya 65:17) Klal Yisrael still persists: “But my bad name will still be around.” Hashem puts Klal Yisrael’s mind to rest again: “I will call you a new name”, etc., etc. The Haftorah says: “The word of Hashem then came to Yirmiyahu from Hashem saying: Thus said Hashem, G-d of Israel: “I sealed a covenant with your forefathers on the day I took them out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slaves, saying, ‘At the outset of the seventh year, each of
