Create Mechanisms to Ensure Justice


Seven Laws for a Beautiful Planet, The Noahide Tradition

By Tzvi Freeman

The seventh principle of Noah demands that we ensure justice in our world.


No other creature on the planet but the human being requires a court to enforce law and order. The fish know their place in the sea, the birds their pathways in the skies and the animals know the laws of their kingdoms. Only the human being must have a score set before him so he will not play in grinding discord. Only the human being has the ability to disrupt the order of the entire planet, to step out of synch with his own purpose and the divine plan.

If the Creator has a purpose for humankind, why doesn’t He Himself rein humankind in? Let Him meet out justice Himself—why should we meddle into His business?


But this itself is the reason—both for our freedom and for our responsibilities: We are meant to be partners in the Creation. And that, most of all, is through determining and delivering justice.


We are not meant to passively observe oppression, inequality and injustice and accept this as fate. We are meant to be outraged, to cry out to the Creator of all things, “How could this be?” And then to do something about it.


Even a small act of justice for a single human being impacts every other human being on the planet. We are restoring harmony to our reality, placing it in synch with a higher reality, a supernal order. In that order, every life is an entire world, no one is insignificant. And so, in establishing justice for one person, all the world is healed.
