Parashat B'har-B'hukotai [Leviticus 25-27] is the concluding parashah of Sefer Va-yiqra [Book of Leviticus]. The parashah may be divided into three parts: 25:1-26:2, which Baruch Levine entitles “The Principles of Land Tenure”, 26:3-46, the “Epilogue of the Holiness Code”, featuring the tokheha [26:14-45] often translated as reproof [Levine's preferred term is “execration”], and chapter 27, “Funding the Sanctuary”. We spent a lot of time exploring the meaning of the sabbatical and jubilee years described in chapter 25. Shabbat Shalom!

These classes teach the day's section of the weekly Torah portion. The lesson is taught using the original Hebrew text with the indispensable commentary of Rashi—both translated and elucidated so that anyone can follow along.

Rashi's commentary is an indispensable part of a person's daily studies. His explanation of Chumash, the first five books of the Torah, clarifies the "simple" meaning of the text so that a bright child of five could understand it. At the same time, it is the crucial foundation of some of the most profound legal analysis and mystical discourses that came after it.

Join me for a Yeshua-focused journey through the double Torah reading of Behar–Bechukotai as we reflect on Sh'mittah, Jubilee, covenant faithfulness, obedience, blessing, discipline, redemption, and the call to Kingdom living. Together, we will explore how these timeless instructions reveal Yah's heart for His people and point us toward the deeper rest, restoration, and discipleship found in Messiah Yeshua.   n this installment, I invite you to walk with me through Behar–Bechukotai as we examine Sabbath rest, Jubilee, covenant obedience, and the redemptive Kingdom life that Torah points us to in Yeshua.

The Bneh Yissachar writes that the greatest tzedaka of all tzedakot is providing someone who is poor in the mind with knowledge. If a person is lacking in understanding of what life is all about or who Hashem is, or if he has a problem that is weighing down upon him, if someone will give him the words that he so desperately needs to hear, that is the greatest form of tzedaka . The sefer Divreh Elokim Chaim brings a hint to this concept from a pasuk in parashat Behar , the first of this week's two parashiot . The pasuk says וכי ימוך אחיך – if your brother is impoverished – והחזקת בו – give him chizuk . The simple meaning of the pasuk is talking about someone who is impoverished monetarily, but on a different level, it can also be referring to someone who is impoverished in his mind, a few words of chizuk can benefit him so much. Everybody could use chizuk , and if we are able to give people chizuk , we should. A compliment or just a nice word could accomplish more than we could imagine. Even people that we think don't need to hear compliments, they do. The compliments that we give to people can have an impact on their life decisions. Rabbi Aharon Tusig told over a story, which took place many years ago, which he heard from a prominent Rosh Yeshiva in Israel. The Rosh Yeshiva said, when the yeshiva that hired him asked him to be the Rosh Yeshiva, he told them he would do it on one condition – that he would not be involved in any of the monetary aspects of the yeshiva. He only wanted to be a part of the spiritual part of the yeshiva. They agreed and, baruch Hashem, for years the Rabbi never had to raise any money. But one year, they were struggling a lot and one of the board members asked the Rabbi if he would please make an exception and travel abroad to collect funds that the yeshiva so desperately needed. The Rosh Yeshiva saw the situation was dire so he agreed to go. The Rabbi went and had a driver take him around to potential donors. On one of those trips, the driver asked the Rabbi if he minded if he pulled off the highway to find a convenience store to buy a drink, as he was very thirsty. The Rabbi said, "Sure, no problem. I'm also thirsty. I'll come in with you." When they got off the highway, they saw a kosher restaurant and pulled up in front and went inside. When the Rosh Yeshiva walked in, one of the waiters there asked if he wanted a table. Then, after a brief pause, the waiter said to the Rabbi, "Rosh Yeshiva, do you recognize me? I'm so-and-so. I used to learn in your yeshiva." The Rosh Yeshiva couldn't believe his eyes. He asked in astonishment how he ended up in this place. In the words of the Rosh Yeshiva, "I was sure with your diligence and brain power, you were going to become one of the great Rosh Yeshivas of the next generation." The man replied, "Rabbi, this is the first time I ever heard you say that you think that about me. I didn't know you thought I had that kind of potential." The Rosh Yeshiva replied, "What do you mean? I have your name in my notebooks with questions that you asked when we were learning Masechet Pesachim together. I never showed you that?" "No," replied the young man. The Rosh Yeshiva then said, "You were always so diligent in your studies and you always seemed to be enjoying your learning so much, I guess I didn't think you needed to hear compliments." The young man asked the Rosh Yeshiva if it's too late for him to come back. The Rosh Yeshiva replied, "It's never too late." So the young man said, "Rosh Yeshiva, if you will learn with me one-on-one for two weeks and get me back into the learning, I will come back to the yeshiva and rededicate myself to Torah." And so it happened. The Rosh Yeshiva concluded the story by saying, "Today, that student of mine lives in Ashdod and he is from the greatest talmidei chachamim in that city." He thought he was traveling abroad to collect funds at that time. In reality, the yeshiva got into financial crisis just so the Rosh Yeshiva would go and find that gem of his and bring him back to Torah. We should never underestimate the power of giving somebody chizuk or giving somebody a compliment. It's the greatest form of tzedaka . It will motivate people and it will engender love. Shabbat Shalom.

Parshat Behar/Bechukotai 5786 by Josh Rosenfeld

How long does the merit of the patriarchs really last?This week on Unperplexed, we explore a striking debate among the Sages—and the Rambam's surprising answer. Why do Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov still matter after generations of failure and exile? And what did they do to merit an “eternal covenant”?More importantly: could we achieve something similar ourselves?

Nadav explains why we would not divide the aliyot perfectly in a double parasha. Follow along in 25:46, 25:38, 26:9, 26:5, 27:21, 27:15.

Behar Bechukotai - Everybody's gotta serve somebody by Rav Mike

In this Parsha Review Podcast episode on the double portion Behar-Bechukotai, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the profound lessons of the Sabbatical year (Shemitah) and Jubilee (Yovel). The Torah commands a complete year off from agricultural work every seven years, requiring total trust (bitachon) in Hashem, who promises miraculous provision through a triple blessing in the sixth year. This highlights divine authorship of the Torah, as no human could guarantee such future-oriented miracles. The Jubilee further resets land ownership, returning properties to original tribal families.Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes the Torah's prohibition against verbal pain (ona'as devarim) — even a hurtful remark violates a biblical command — and connects it to fearing Hashem and observing His laws for secure dwelling in the Land. He addresses the reasons for exile, reconciling Shemitah neglect with broader commandment violations through the Talmudic teaching that the Torah was given not to perfect angels but to imperfect humans facing real challenges.The episode culminates in a powerful call to productive toil: just as the ant never stops working, we must channel our labor toward spiritual growth during Shemitah (toiling in Torah), maintain life balance, avoid time-wasters like addictive social media, and emulate disciplined productivity. True success comes from trusting Hashem, recalibrating values, and producing rather than merely consuming._____________This episode of the Parsha Review Podcast is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa FriedmanDownload & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on May 5, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 7, 2026_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at awolbe@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

This week's Torah portion is known as Behar–Bechukotai and covers Leviticus 25:1–27:34. These are the final two Torah portions in the book of Leviticus.In Leviticus 25, the concept of the Jubilee is introduced as the ultimate expression of God's sovereignty over the land and time. It functions as a “super-Sabbath,” occurring after seven cycles of seven years.Moses instructs the nation to count off seven cycles of sabbatical years—seven years seven times. In the fiftieth year, the people are to hallow the Year of Jubilee. During that year, on the Day of Atonement, a shofar is blown all across the land to announce the moment of redemption.The Jubilee year is defined by three primary mandates that reset the economic and social structure of Israelite society. The most significant aspect of the Jubilee is the restoration of property. In the biblical framework, land could not be sold permanently. Instead, it was leased based on the number of years remaining until the next Jubilee. Families who sold their land due to poverty or debt received it back. The practice reinforced the idea that the land belongs to God. The Israelites were merely tenants or stewards of his property. Any Israelite who had sold himself into servitude to pay off debts was set free. These individuals were permitted to return to their ancestral clans and their own family land. The Jubilee transformed the concept of “ownership” into “stewardship.”AskSupport the showConsider donating (one-time or recurring) to www.TheJerusalemConnection.us so we can continue to bring valuable content via podcasts free to the public.

What kind of responsibility do we carry for the world we're living in? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Aviva Lauer explore Parshat Behar–Bechukotai and the connection between social responsibility and spiritual consequence. Through the laws of Shemitah and Yovel, they examine how the Torah builds a society rooted in limits, care, and mutual responsibility. Against that backdrop, the blessings and curses of Bechukotai raise a deeper question: how should we understand the relationship between our actions and the realities we face? The conversation challenges us to reflect not only on belief, but on behavior—and what it means to build a just and ethical community.
