Rabbi Bernhart says that this passage

Rabbi Bernhart says: this passage emphasizes the importance of recognizing your own personal integrity as a human. You were created in the image of the Lord and He created you as you are for a purpose. Falsifying your "length, weight, or capacity" is a direct rejection of the Lord and his intentions to design the world in which we live. Also, it is an example of bearing false witness, or simply put: lying. It is important for us as followers of the Lord to recognize His design of the natural world and to be honest to ourselves and our community.

Rabbi Seth upholds that this passage is about both balance in life and about avoiding idolitry. The passage insists that it is necessary to accept the natural order of one's priorities, and to not alter them. One shoud no decide to prioritize one element of their life - school or a sport, for example - disproportionately to it's natural value. It can easily lead to an unbalanced life or a 'false idol' in that task.

Rabbi Bernhart says that while Rabbi Seth has a valid point in recognizing the natural order in which the Lord created the world and the importance of avoicing idolotry, his interpretation could be misused to justify descrimination for any practice that is deemed "unnatural". A specific example of how this could be used to descriminate is the common practice of conservatice Christians to deem homosexuality as a sin because it is "unnatural". It is necessary t o realize that the Lord created the world as it is for specific reasons, including the minority groups. His point to maintain a balance in our lives is a very important message, however, and must be a major aspect of our lives in serving the Lord.

Rabbi Elliott says this scripture is teaching on integrity. As students at Creighton Prep this can apply to borrowing money from friends. Falsifying measurements can be seen as lying about certain accomplishments to try to impress friends. In our world today, this passage is telling you to be yourself and don't live in someone else's box or step outside the box, but create your own box.

Main Topic (Primary Response). Rabbi Bauwens says: "This can be applied to students at Creighton Prep. The students at Creighton Prep are not only taught things from classes but also to be good main forming the way for others to follow. We as seniors especially are looked up to at the school since we are the oldest ones there. Such things that we do could cause others to follow and we want those things to have an honest balance & honest weights."

Main topic (Primary Response). Rabbi Ehrman says: This passage can apply to students at creighton prep. We, as students, may encounter situatutions where our personal integrity is tried. This passage does not literally mean we should be honest only when it comes to measuring or counting. Instead, it calls us to shape ourselves, our minds and our opinions in a balanced way. Achieving balance in our lives means keeping an open mind to other ways of thinking.

Rabbi Crowdy agrees with Rabbi Ehrman with him saying who are we to judge another man because we are no better than that man. We were all created in God's own image.

Rabbi Harris agrees with Rabbi Ehrman and Davey. If we interpreted the passage literally it would be hard to live a normal life. At the same time we need to have balance between school, work, and activities that we take part in the Prep community.

Rabbi Davey agrees with Rabbi Ehrman. The passage is not to be interpreted literally; rather, we are instructed to keep an open mind and be fair in forming opinions.

Main topic (Primary Response) Rabbi Higgins says: This passage still agrees with the beliefs held by Creighton Prep. We as students are taught to have an honest balance with school work, and extra activities. Also to have an honest balance with the people we interact with daily in the Prep life to form a bigger bond in the community.

Rabbi Dethlefs agrees with Rabbi Higgins becuase Creighton Prep does encourage its students to get involved in as much as possible, especially the things that build men for others. It wants us to keep things such as religion, God, and our families highest on our priority list , then others things such as school work, sports, and clubs.

Rabbi Ehrman agrees with Rabbi Higgins: This passage agrees with the needs high school students have when it comes to the many aspects of our lives. From school to friends to faith, we are called to strike a balance in our lives. I also agree that balance within a community leads to stronger bonds.

Main topic (Primary Response) Rabbi Hemsley says this passage is teaching about having a good balance of things in your life. It is important not to focus on one thing in life because you will start neglecting other things. For example, if a person puts too much focus on hanging out with friends, then he will start neglecting his studies and vice versa.

Rabbi Dethlefs says this passage is telling us that we need to make sure that we put things in life in the appropriate order that they should be in. We need to make sure things such as family come first over other things such as personal interests. We need to make sure that we care most about what matters most, and that we do not let those things of no importance hide the things that really matter in life, such as religion, family, and friends.

Rabbi Ose agrees with Rabbi Davey and Rabbi Higgins because they both base their teachings off truth. A creighton prep man for others must have an "honest balance" of all the skills he learns so he may act as an example of perfection for others.

I agree with Rabbi Ose, Davey, and Higgins as this can also be seen to have qualites of the grad at grad place in,which prep strives their students to follow

Rabbi Davey says: This passage is about fairness. It means that we should treat everything and everyone equally, and that we should do things fairly, not basing our decisions on prejudices and preconcieved notions. "An honest balance" tells us not to favor a particular side when making a decision or judgment, "honest weights" tell us to make sure our appraisals of everyone are true and fair.

Rabbi Hemsley agrees with Rabbi Davey and Rabbi Higgins. This passage applies to Creighton Prep students because it encourages a balance of all the categories of the Grad at Grad.

Rabbi Dethlefs agrees with Rabbi Hemsley becuase the Grad at Grad really does try to achieve a good balance of honesty. It encourages us to have an honest balance of weights by being open to growth to new things and also to be open to be committed to doing justice. This justice helps us to achieve a good balance, along with being a man for others and being religious.

Rabbi Higgins agrees with Rabbi Davey. This passage still holds truth in the Creighton Prep students life because they are taught how to achieve your definitions of "An honest balance", and "honest weights."

Rabbi Gasnick says: This can apply to prep students in everyday life. While back then it was applying to measuring something inaccurately on purpose to gain more money. Today it can mean that we shouldn't cheat on tests or on homework assignments. Of course we all know it is wrong to steal, sometimes I dont think we realize that by cheating on a test, that is stealing answers from another and gaining an unfair advantage over others. This concept if followed correctly can pretty much get you through life the right way.

Rabbi Crowdy says: This passage is about having an open mind about other people's beliefs, character, and their features saying who are you to judge another human being. It is basically saying do not take the splinter out of someone else's eye until you have taken the log out of your own eye. It's about how we are human and nobodies perfect

Rabbi Graf says that this particular passage has a weighty significance on the average student, and on a lengthier spectrum, the average person’s life. It essentially entreats the reader to embrace his or her god-given integrity and sense of identity. In a competitive and constantly judgmental setting peer-pressure controls how a student, especially at a diverse school like CP, conducts his or her life. Questions such as “What will I wear to impress my friends?” or “Does that girl who lives down the street in the second story-house, third window facing the mailbox like me…or, think I’m a stalker?” overpower our sense of character. We allow the world and its woes to makeup our personality, rather than our true feelings. The passage asks us to be true to ourselves. It’s basically one of those cheesy Christian bumper stickers – only stated in a dry metaphorical fashion. Even still, it covers a singular, universal truth: humans hide inside the world, rather than step outside, and conquer it.

Rabbi Gasnick agrees with Rabbi Graf on the basis of integrity at Creighton Prep. Sometimes it can be hard with all the peer pressure and it is probably easier to do the wrong thing, but just because it is easier does not make it the right way.

Rabbi Seth supports Rabbi Graf's insightful comments. The material world can entice one away from their true persona and value base. It is imperative to avoid this temptation and remain true to one's core values.

Rabbi Elliott agrees with Rabbi Graf and his view on the fact that the passage is telling us to be true to ourselves and embrace the integrity we are called to live in.

Rabbi Harris says: This is still important in our lives today because some people want to be more than what they really are.

Rabbi Ose says: This is still relevent to life because fair trade is dependent on an equal system of measurment.

Rabbi Hall Responds: While I understand what you are saying and I agree, I also believe that this paasage is trying to connect with the reader on a much more person al level. I believe it is attempting to offer advice for the personal and small choices that we make almost unconsciously daily.

Rabbi Linden says: This message can teach of how to balance our lives, to where everything we value has its own particular balance and weight. That are values must be honest and worth being balanced.

Rabbi Bauwens agrees with Rabbi Linden. We are to live this out to the best we can because then things will run a lot more smoother and we will have less worrying about.

Rabbi Graf agrees with Rabbi Linden. We cannot allow society to govern our thoughts, intentions, and action. We must find equilibrium between the trivial items and the items that carry true weight and importance.
