9.6.15

The Torah is decidedly Right Wing. As a political laws are concerned the Torah is definitely for private property, highly limited government, traditional morality, and family values.

Torah is about personal morality but it is also a political blueprint for a functional society.
Every time there is a law that says do such and such because I am the Lord your God it is referring to personal morality.
"Love your neighbor like yourself because I am the Lord your God." We can't imagine Congress passing a law like that. And what kind of punishment would there be for not obeying it? Perhaps a jail sentence of thirty days?

But there are plenty of laws which are political and civil law and this part of the Torah is decidedly Right Wing. As a political laws are concerned the Torah is definitely for private property, highly limited government, traditional morality, and family values.
