R. Rachel Rubenstein's bat mitzvah charge delivered to Iris Muscoplat at Shabbat morning services on May 24th, 2025 on parshat Behar-Bechukotai.

Behar-Bechukotai | 5785 | Abarbanel as Philosopher, by Rav Elyakim Krumbein Reward on earth or in the afterlife?

Ramban on the Torah | 5785 | 27 | Behar-Bechukotai, by Rav Eli Weber What's the Ramban's view on chronology in the Torah? What is the religious meaning of work? Will there be wild animals in the days of the mashiach?

The Book of Vayikra or Leviticus concludes with the two part torah parsha, "Behar," and "Bechukotai," (Leviticus chapters 25 through the end of the Book.) Covered first are the concepts of 'sabbath for the land,' and the "Jubilee" year, which Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa explains might be thought of as a big Reset button that has the effect of precluding a societal meltdown and depression otherwise. Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship and the Erev Shabbat reading: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/SSM-5-23-25-Behar-Bechukotai-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 The Sabbath Day midrash begins with a bit more background on that Scriptural reset, and what happens when it does NOT. And even though much of the parsha is directed at what happens "in the [promised] land" - and we remain in exile, as also promised - there are indications that we are again on the precipice of the multiplied curses in the latter part of the parsha, that again seem so clearly apropos.

This week's episode with Rabbanit Surale Rosen closes our series on the lived experience of Torah observance.The conversation begins with an idea rooted in our parsha regarding an ethic that may have preceded the official giving of Torah and continues on to explore some of the tensions between Halakhic life and secular sensibilities both in Israel and abroad. When does applying a halakhic frame feel absurd? How might broadening the purview of halakha actually help make its observance more organic? This week's episode has been sponsored in memory of Vita Rachel bat Yaacov Bradfield z"l. Our upcoming Bamidbar series will focus on issues of leadership--Chazak, Chazak, V'nitchazek!

Torah Portion - Behar-Bechukotai(Leviticus 25–27)Punishment for Disobedience (2020 Rebroadcast) by Shawn Ozbun

In the beginning of parashat Bichukotai , the Torah promises the most beautiful rewards, but first it tells us how to access them. אם בחוקותי תלכו – and Rashi writes, שתהיו עמלים בתורה – that we are to toil in the study of Torah. The Torat Kohanim here says Hashem desires us to toil in Torah. The Gemara says in Masechet Berachot , whoever toils in the study of Torah brings נחת רוח ליוצרו – brings satisfaction to his Creator. One aspect of learning Torah is to know how to perform the mitzvot, but there is another aspect and that is to learn Torah just for the sake of delving into the wisdom of Hashem. And for this, it is not good enough to just read it on the surface level, a person must mentally strain himself to understand the deep layers of Torah. The more a person delves into Torah, the more he connects himself to Hashem. There are many ways that a person can toil in the study of Torah. One of them is to get himself to fully focus on what he is learning at the moment, to remove all other distractions from his mind and ensure that he will not be interrupted while learning. The Be'er HaParashah brings a story that was told by Rabbi Tzvi Michel Shapira, zatzal . Two business partners who lived in Turkey used to begin their workday early in the morning and then they would stop at midday and go to the Bet Midrash to learn. They would learn b'chavruta straight for three hours and during that time, they would not stop even for a moment. They were very careful to keep that time sacred, never conversing with each other on any other topics or allowing themselves to be distracted for any reason. As they were getting on in years they asked each other that whoever goes up to the Upper World first should come back to tell the other one about the judgment in Shamayim for their deeds. Sure enough, one of them passed away and, a couple of weeks later, he was allowed to appear to the other in a dream. He said every single thing he ever did was scrutinized by the Heavenly Court. He saw multitudes of malachim kedoshim that he created through the performance of the mitzvot. But he also saw all of the destructive angels that he created through his averot and he became petrified from them. As they were approaching him, all of a sudden, a wall went up between them and him and they were unable to pass through it and go near him. He asked why that happened and was told, it was a result of his uninterrupted Torah study every single day. This wall was built and because he had no interruptions, the wall was solid, without any cracks and therefore not even one destructive angel was able to pass through. The man concluded by saying he was allowed to come back in the dream just to inform him of the importance of his uninterrupted, completely focused Torah study. If somebody does not have the ability to do that for three hours, he can do it for two, or even for one, or even for a half hour, whatever time a person is able to dedicate to the learning of Torah, it should be with complete focus and no outside distractions. This will be considered עמילות בתורה , which Hashem yearns for, and will give Hashem so much satisfaction and, b'ezrat Hashem, will bring the person beautiful blessings. Shabbat Shalom.

WOW!!! This week, you're hearing for the first time ever on our podcast Master of Sacred Music Gabe Snyder and RABBI Amanda K. Weiss! Woohoo! (Chazak chazak v'nitchazek!) We're not done learning yet! We still have the extraordinary Miranda Bass who walks us through the significance of service (both to the Temple and to your country). Navigating the political landscape is never an easy adventure, but it's worthwhile to use our values as a compass and our community as a guide. How we treat each other makes a huge difference to where we end up—even when it's just finding a common ground when we stand in disagreement with one another. Oh right! And don't forget…rest is radical and holy. (Also…#crimedoesntpay against people OR institutions).
