Mishpatim - portion of LAWS - to teach us NOT what to do - but HOW TO BE (closer to G-d)‏

So the portion is called "laws". 

It tells us starting in Shmos chapter 21 - how to NOT make people feel like SLAVES
and in sentence 17 there
How to NOT act towards your parents who brought LIFE to you
and later
How NOT to blame G-d for WHAT YOUR LIFE MUST ACCOMPLISH IN THIS WORLD ...

BECAUSE it teaches us HOW G-d WORKS -
not moving people out of a place where their presence is needed (see in Shmos 23:29)... and who knows what is needed and when - if not Hashem ...?

And it teaches us how to get CLOSE to G-d - 
as the Almighty tells Moses in Shmos 24:16 - 18 " be here ... " and after 6 days of preparation -
"on the Shabbos" - ? the SEVENTH DAY -
after Moses is READY to be close to G-d - 
it says "Moses entered the clouds..." - the Clouds of Glory ??

And WHY ALL THIS LAWS ... AND TEACHING ... we need LAWS- training us - 
BECAUSE IT IS NOT SO EASY TO FULFILL THE ALMIGHTY'S MISSION-

To have us -
AS RABBI CARLEBACH SAID IN HIS WAY OF TRANSMITTING THE TORAH:
"love one another and bring the WHOLE WORLD two million miles closer to redemption." 

Let's try this Shabbat
