I asked Google what the Messianic readings are for today, February 14th 2026 then switched to Ai mode to ask it to create the html code and image for this post.

For Saturday, February 14, 2026 (27 Shevat 5786), we dive into Mishpatim. What is Mishpatim? Mishpatim is the Hebrew word for "judgements". This portion transitions from the awe of Sinai to the practical, everyday application of God's laws in a just society.
