Maakeh: Protecting society

Hi,

Today we begin a new topic: Maakeh.

"Maakeh" is a Hebrew word which refers to a protective barrier, meant to keep people from falling off a roof or similar drop.

The Torah says, "When you build a new house, you shall make a Maakeh for your roof, and you shall not place blood upon your house when one a victim falls from it."

(Devarim 22:8)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
