Reply To: What Did I do?!

The Torah is absolutely egalitarian.

Here is the definition of egalitarian from Oxford Dictionary:
“Relating to or believing in the principle that all people are equal and deserve equal rights and opportunities.”

The various stations of Kohen, Levi, Yisrael are not about “rights and opportunities.”

Even the Halacha of Kedima mentioned by some refers not to the absolute question of rights, but to a specific situation in which one must choose – for utterly practical considerations – only one person whose rights to uphold. It is implicit in the ruling that “Talmid Chacham kodem L’am Ha’aretz” that both enjoy the same rights, but that if circumstances allow us to save only one of them, the Talmid Chacham has priority.

The Torah reiterates numerous times that the Law is to be applied equally to all, regardless of any consideration whatsoever. There is to be absolutely no preference in Beis Din for the revered scholar, nor any empathy for the predicament of the indigent defendant.

I submit to you that there exists no more egalitarian system of justice than that of our Torah.
