This homily on Deuteronomy 21:10-25:19 (Parashat Ki Tetze) encourages artists to boldly challenge conventions while staying grounded in compassion and responsibility. Torah's myriad of mitzvot, especially those about ethical treatment of others and safeguarding the vulnerable, offer a powerful framework for artists. Just as the Torah commands us to care for the marginalized and protect what’s sacred, artists are reminded that creativity isn't about tearing down for its own sake but about transforming the world with purpose. This teaching urges artists to embrace their iconoclastic spirit, pushing boundaries in their work while ensuring their impact uplifts and serves the greater good, blending disruption with empathy and social responsibility.
