Murder, Mercy, and Mindfulness: Wisdom from the Sixth Commandment

Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores the Sixth Commandment—“Lo Tirtzach: Don’t Murder”—and why it’s far more than a prohibition against taking a life. Rabbi Feigelson reveals how the commandment extends beyond literal murder to include gossip, false testimony, harmful advice, or withholding life-saving information. Through mindfulness practice, he shows how recognizing the unique, infinite, and equal value of every person can transform the way we think, speak, and act every day. Be in touch at [e-mail].
