Ki Teitzei: See the Danger. Build the Fence.

What does an eight-year-old girl driving ten miles to Target have to do with Parashat Ki Teitzei?

More than you might think.

The Torah commands us to build a maakeh—a guardrail—to prevent foreseeable danger. But that responsibility extends far beyond rooftops. It means recognizing risks before someone gets hurt and taking reasonable steps to prevent harm.

In this episode of Driving Through the Parsha, Ari Lieberman explores what the mitzvah of maakeh can teach us about cars, driver training, traffic laws, vehicle safety—and even keeping the car keys out of the wrong hands.

See the danger. Build the fence. Prevent the harm.
