Sefer Shofetim is taught by Rabbi Joey Mizrachi
-
A Summary provided by Rabbi Jack Abramowitz of the Orthodox Union:
There was a man from Mt. Ephraim named Mikha, who stole a large sum of silver from his mother, but returned it fearing her curse on the thief. She had already resolved to consecrate the money, so she gave it back to him to have made into a statue.
When he received the statue from the silver smith, Mikha set it up in his house as an idol and he made one of his sons the priest of his new religion. Eventually, a Levi came traveling by. Mikha was thrilled to have a Levi, from whose Tribe come real Kohanim. He offered him a hefty salary to stay and be his priest. The Levi joined Mikha’s household and Mikha took his presence as a sign of G-d’s approval.
