On the one hand, we do not have a new guest this week. On the other hand, we do have an opportunity to assemble all our previous talks on Parshat Mishpatim.
In this parsha G‑d legislates a series of laws for the people. These include the laws of the indentured servant; the punishment for murder, kidnapping and theft; civil laws pertaining to redress of damages, the granting of loans; the rules governing the conduct of justice by courts of law. Also included are laws warning against mistreatment of foreigners and the observance of the festivals (such as Sukkott).
