Mishpatim: Laws
Exodus 21:1–24:18
After giving the Torah to the Jewish people, G‑d told Moses to ascend Mount Sinai again – this time for 40 days – in order to teach him the details of the Torah’s laws. The sixth section of the Book of Exodus is primarily a selection of the laws (Mishpatim, in Hebrew) that G‑d taught Moses while he was on Mount Sinai.

Daily Quote
I learned the meaning of love from a drunk. I once passed two drunks drinking in a gutter and overheard the following conversation between them:
Drunk #1: "I love you!"
Drunk #2: "No you don't."
Drunk #1: "Yes, yes, I do. I love you with all my heart."
Drunk #2: "No you don't. If you love me, why don't you know what hurts me?"
–Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Barditchov
