RIGHTING RELATIONSHIPS

[38a middle] Gemarah: A man who has “rights” to his slave is an actual master, but if a master does not, the one subjegated is not termed an actual “slave.”
R’ Rosner: Functionality impacts legal ownership.

D-E-ep Thoughts: We are only true “servants” of G-d based on how we act. In order to maintain a proper relationship we are required to conduct ourselves accordingly. If we want all the blessings from our Father, King, and Creator, we must show that we are proper children, subjects, and creations.
