וְצִוִּיתִי אֶת־בִּרְכָתִי לָכֶם בַּשָּׁנָה הַשִּׁשִּׁית וְעָשָׂת אֶת־הַתְּבוּאָה לִשְׁלֹשׁ הַשָּׁנִים׃ I will ordain My blessing for you in the sixth year, so that it shall yield a crop sufficient for three years.
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!

In this week's episode Rabbi Kohn discusses what the Torah's definition of freedom is. He learns out from the mitzvah of the Jubilee year to give us the an insight that freedom is not the ability to do what you want when you want but rather something much deeper. He also brings out a lesson from the juxtapostion of the prohibition of overcharging to the mitzvah of Shmittah which seems to be unrelated. Subscribe to The Practical Parsha Podcast.

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.

Parshas Behar & Lag B'Omer, Rest and Renewal The Parsha Perspective is in honor of Eretz Yisroel. May G-d protect our brave soldiers. May G-d return all the hostages in Gaza immediately. The Parsha Perspective is in honor of the Refuah Shlema of HaRav Amitai Ben Shoshanna and those who need to experience a speedy and complete recovery with G-d's help. The Parsha Perspective is in loving memory of Edward Ben Efraim, Shlomo Ben Edward, and Yirachmiel Daniel Ben Gedalia. May their souls be uplifted and their memories a blessing. Click here to listen, watch and connect! Parshaperspective.com Our Parsha begins with an overview of the laws of Shemitah and Yovel. Shemitah is a seven-year cycle in which we may farm the land for six years; however, we must let the land rest in the seventh year. We find out the laws of Shemitah. We learn the true status of the land of Israel.
Embark on a journey beyond the ordinary with our latest podcast episode, where we confront the risks of confining your voice to the crowded realm of self-help podcasts and the vitality of carving a distinctive niche. As we navigate the seas of advice littered with quick fixes, we turn to the enduring wisdom of the Torah. The pearls of insight in Shlomo HaMelech's Proverbs and Ibn Ezra on Tzitzis provide a light that steels us toward authentic enlightenment. We delve into the Torah's profouTorah'siance, which offers a fulfilling spiritual and personal growth path that eclipses the commonplace self-improvement narrative.Our discussion ventures into the realms of spiritual stewardship with the teachings of Shemitah and Yovel, shedding light on our temporal existence and the fleeting essence of material belongings. By embracing the wisdom of our forebears and figures such as the Chafetz Chaim, we learn the art of a 'temporary mindset' and how this can transform our approach to life's hurdles. We explore how the humbling daily reminder of our human limitations through our bathroom habits is more than a biological necessity—it's a spiritual reflection of the omnipotence of Hashem and a call to recognize our transient journey through life's landscape of divine guidance.

The Rabbis share thier insights and observations on one pasuk from Parshas Behar chapter 25 verse 10: וְקִדַּשְׁתֶּם אֵת שְׁנַת הַחֲמִשִּׁים שָׁנָה וּקְרָאתֶם דְּרוֹר בָּאָרֶץ לְכׇל־יֹשְׁבֶיהָ יוֹבֵל הִוא תִּהְיֶה לָכֶם וְשַׁבְתֶּם אִישׁ אֶל־אֲחֻזָּתוֹ וְאִישׁ אֶל־מִשְׁפַּחְתּוֹ תָּשֻׁבוּ׃ and you shall hallow the fiftieth year. You shall proclaim release throughout the land for all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you: each of you shall return to your holding and each of you shall return to your family.

Embark on a spiritual exploration with us as we uncover the timeless wisdom of Parsha Behar, a treasure trove of lessons on faith and resilience anchored in the practices of the sabbatical and jubilee years. Unravel the mystery of why these commandments were given to our ancestors and us in the desert, and let's reflect together on the Shemitah year—a divine reminder that all we possess is a generous gift from Hashem. Our conversation will weave through historical events, such as the recent miraculous protection of Israel, to illuminate the profound impact of these ancient laws on our contemporary understanding of divine providence and trust.Be inspired by the tale of a secular kibbutz whose leap into observing the sabbatical year brought about an unexpected harvest of faith and fortune. As we discuss their experience and the resulting bounty that defied their skepticism, we reaffirm the spiritual principle that gratitude and recognition of the divine imbue our daily lives with deeper meaning. Through the lens of Joseph's interpretation of Pharaoh's dreams, we'll confront the allure of worldly assurances and rediscover the essence of Jewish identity—finding strength in life's uncertainties through an unwavering faith in Hashem. Join us for this journey steeped in tradition and rich with insight, as we celebrate the resilience that defines our spiritual heritage.This episode (Ep 6.32) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Behar is dedicated in Honor of Levi & Leah Netzer on the engagement of our children & in honor of our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!Download & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded in the TORCH Centre - Studio B to a live audience on May 21, 2024, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 22, 2024_____________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.
