Parashat Ki Tetze has many commandments related to social interactions and social obligations toward others in society, especially the vulnerable. We explore practical applications of commandments such as the obligation to help with loading and unloading as they apply to drivers and groups of travelers or hikers and issues pertaining to interest on loans in the days of modern banking. We also explore the laws requiring one to help a fugitive slave, and other slavery-related laws and note the strikingly differences as compared to other systems law in the Ancient Near East, and as compared to the era of slavery in the United States of America.
