   Your last insights re that our leaders must be held to the same standards as everyone else, makes sense as it follows the other guidelines suggested by Yitro on how to be a responsible administrator.
   If only our leaders today would follow these words.
   When egos are involved it is very hard to give up control.

   Dear Lillian - Thank you for your comment. Of course I agree. I should add that in Judaism our leaders are not just held to the same standards as everyone else but that they are frequently held to higher standards. At the very least the often receive more serious punishments. In a Jewish court “years of public service” or “prior philanthropy” would not be an argument for a lighter sentence. Rabbi D

   This was great insight as to the relationship between the law of today and that of the Torah.
