The Bris of Parshas Bechukosai, Ki Savo and Nitzavim.Source Sheet: https://res.cloudinary.com/ouinternal/image/upload/outorah%20pdf/nmo2xbqowp83zlrw4jdh.pdf
Have you ever considered that Torah might be alive, seeking relationship with those who truly cherish it? This groundbreaking perspective transforms our understanding of what it means to "toil in Torah."At the heart of Parshas Bechukosai lies a divine promise of abundance – timely rain, bountiful crops, peace, health, and prosperity. The condition? "Im bechukosai telechu" – if you will go in My laws. But what does this really mean? Rashi's revolutionary interpretation reveals it's about being "ameilim baTorah" – toiling in Torah study. Yet why would God want us to suffer or struggle with His wisdom?The answer lies in understanding Torah as a living entity rather than a static text. As evidenced in Sefer Mishlei, where wisdom "cries out in the streets" and "raises her voice in the squares," Torah has a heartbeat, feelings, and desires. Just like any meaningful relationship, Torah seeks those who demonstrate sincere devotion and prioritization.This explains why Yehoshua earned leadership over Moshe's own son – not because of intellectual prowess, but because "he arranged the chairs and smoothed the tablecloths" in the study hall. He served Torah passionately, rising early and staying late, making it feel cherished above all else.True "ameilis baTorah" means courting Torah like a potential life partner – demonstrating that it's the most crucial relationship in your life. When we approach Torah this way – as a living presence rather than information to master – it reciprocates, "falling in love" with us and revealing its most profound wisdom.How might your relationship with Torah change if you treated it not just as a text to study but as a presence to honor, cherish, and prioritize? Start courting Torah today, and watch as it opens its heart to you, revealing treasures beyond imagination.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!Elevate your impact by becoming a TMC Emerald Donor!

This week's double-Parsha closes out the Book of Leviticus. Parshas Behar begins at Mount Sinai, where the Almighty instructed Moshe to convey a series of laws to the Jewish people. The first is the mitzvah of Shemittah, the prohibition of engaging in any agricultural work every seven years. In two chapters in the Torah (Leviticus 26, Deuteronomy 28) we read about the positive consequences of obeying the Torah and heeding its laws; and the terrible, painful consequences of disobeying the Law. Though reading Parshas Bechukosai is scary and a tad depressing, the truth is that this framework is the secret to our nation enduring such long and painful exiles.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

The Rabbis share thier insights and observations on one pasuk from Parshas Behar chapter 26 verse 44: וְאַף־גַּם־זֹאת בִּהְיוֹתָם בְּאֶרֶץ אֹיְבֵיהֶם לֹא־מְאַסְתִּים וְלֹא־גְעַלְתִּים לְכַלֹּתָם לְהָפֵר בְּרִיתִי אִתָּם כִּי אֲנִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵיהֶם Yet, even then, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them or spurn them so as to destroy them, annulling My covenant with them: for I Hashem am their God.

Why is the struggle to study the Torah so deeply embedded in Jewish tradition? Join us as we tackle this bold question and explore Parashat B'chukosai, where the Jewish people face a profound ultimatum: adhere to God's commandments for immense blessings or suffer dire consequences. The Tochecha, or admonitions, are read quietly due to their grave nature, but we bring them to the forefront to understand their significance. With insights from Rashi's commentary on "I'm bechukosai teyleichu," we uncover the concept of Ameilos BaTorah and the immense value of toiling in Torah study—even when its full impact remains beyond our grasp.We'll journey through historical and biblical examples, from Moshe Rabbeinu's struggles to Yaakov's early yearning for Torah study, and reflect on the Vilna Gaon's rejection of angelic help. These stories illustrate the indispensable role of hard work in spiritual growth and purity. In a world where modern trends often emphasize effortless success, this episode reaffirms the timeless truth: meaningful achievement requires relentless effort and dedication, whether in Torah study or life. Discover how this unwavering commitment leads to both profound blessings and inner peace.Support the Show.------------------Check out our other Torah Podcasts and content!

Our latest episode promises to uncover the profound significance of Parshas Bechukosai, where we journey beyond mere mitzvah observance to the very heart of Torah study. Through insightful commentary from Rashi and an evocative parable by the Chofetz Chaim, we explore how Torah is not just a set of rules, but a divine language and the very fabric of our lives.
