Day 14 - When breaking the law was breaking my word

This story resonated with me. I do my very best never to cross on a red light even if there is no traffic in sight, and no one around to see. And especially when there are people around, who might be crossing, for example downtown. The reason is a class I once heard from Rabbi Cardozo in Jerusalem about keeping the laws of the land we live in. Before I really knew the extent of the concept, Rabbi Cardozo introduced me to the idea of 'chilul Hashem' (desecrating G-d's name). How can an observant Jew who keeps G-d's commandments not keep the laws of the country that everyone else is expected to keep?
