Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair
If you look in the written Torah, you won’t find a single word about rights. But it’s full of obligations: Obligations of a child to its parents; of a teacher to his or her pupil and vice versa; of a community to the poor; of the individual to the community; obligations to the orphaned, to the sick, to the convert; the obligations of man to G-d. Rights, however, are conspicuously absent from the Chumash. Why?
