The letter clarifies that while some Torah interpretations allow flexibility, matters of reality must follow established principles, with the Arizal's rulings being definitive in Kabbalah. It discusses creation as both a spiritual and physical process and confirms that before this world, only spiritual realms existed, rejecting earlier views. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/014/005/5134

Exploring the 50 Gates of Tshuva: Insights and UnderstandingsIn this episode, we embark on a new study as part of theKollel Toras Chaim network, focusing on the teachings related to the 50 gates of Teshuva. R' Yaakov explains the mystical concepts behind these gates, especially their connection to the sphere of Bina, which is above the natural realm. Key themes include the relationship of Teshuva to divine attributes, the significance of the 49 accessible gates versus the 50th gate, and the symbolic connections to Jewish practices and holidays like Chanukah and Yovel. The teachings of Rabbeinu Nachman and their practical implications for personal and spiritual growth during the month of Elul are also highlighted.00:00 Introduction to the New Limud00:42 Understanding the 50 Gates of Teshuva01:40 Exploring the Concept of Bina03:57 The Significance of the Number Eight05:29 Connecting Teshuva to the Kisei HaKavod06:58 Returning to Our Essence09:09 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Yovel

Rav Moshe Wolfson Aka the Mashgiach Ztl of kehilos Emunas Yisrael passed away, alongside other tragedies we dedicated our learning to their Souls. Dedicated to Healing and Shmirah for the soldiers. The Mashgiach was my oldest son's Sandek. We learn Sefar Tanya Perek 20, to bring down Unity of Hashem through speech to the Mashiach mindset to overcome the challenging days and news... We Mchazzik with Torah and music

Natural calamities... and how years with no rain (and therefore no produce) were characterized as "Elijah's years." Plus, calculating produce per the years of Shemitah (and Yovel) - and how that connects to redeeming one's conscrated ancestral lands. Plus, mishnah! Cultivating wheat when the crop fails is a challenge to pay back....

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 Torah tells us property sold in EY goes back at Yovel. Focusing on this idea in the Parsha, that the land is not ours to permanently sell, we are justs guests there. Have a good Shabbos.

In this shiur, delivered in Tomer Devorah (last shiur of the year), Rav Burg explains how Shemita and Yovel rectify the sin of Kayin and Hevel. As one journeys through the story of Kayin and Hevel to Lemech and his wives and four children and finally to Shes and his ultimate descendant Noach it becomes clear that the narrative is about the loss of Tzelem Elokim and the dangers of living in an animal society. Ultimately a society that loses its awareness of its own Godliness will destroy itself. Shemita and Yovel bring us back to true freedom and restore our Godly dignity.

Being a farmer in antiquity was a hard job. Without any mechanized tools and plows, farming demanded a great deal of sweat and toil. But what choice did you have? If you want to feed your family, you need to work the land. Then comes the Shemitah. Every 7th year, the farmers in the Land are barred from working the field. For one year, the Land must lay fallow. Adhering to this mitzvah demands a great deal of faith and spiritual fortitude. But there is more: every 50th year is the Yovel where for the second year in a row, working the Land was prohibited. In this special edition of the Parsha Podcast, we take a deep dive into the fascinating and the mysterious subject of Yovel.

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:What lessons and empowerment does this time-period and Torah portion offer us in facing today's war?   What is the significance of the period between Pesach and Shavuos?  What does the month of Iyar teach us?  What is the connection between Rafah and healing?  What do we learn from Pesach Sheni?  How does counting the Omer help refine and strengthen us?  Weeks of Netzach and Hod: What are netzach and hod and what are their functions?  Behar: What does a “mountain” teach us?   Do the laws of Yovel apply today?  Beis Iyar  How to fight a war with a l'chatchila ariber attitude?  Who was the Rebbe Maharash named after and what do we learn from that?  Should we induce labor to give birth to a child on an auspicious day like Beis Iyar?  What do we learn from the soldiers that were tragically killed by “friendly fire”?  Is Israel the safest place on earth?  How do we reconcile the Rebbe's statement that Israel is the safest place in the world with the unfortunate fact that over 1,200 people were murdered in one day in Israel?   Should we move to Israel due to fears of rising anti-Semitism?  How can we apply the concept of l'chatchila ariber to the current physical and spiritual war?  How should we react to President Biden withholding arms from Israel and to the general anti-Israel stance among some USA officials?  Should we remain allies with the USA or perhaps turn to Russia and China for support?  Are the soldiers tzaddikim?  Is it possible that my putting on Tefillin actually caused harm to our soldiers?  What power do our actions have in impacting world events?   War with Hamas 

This morning we distinguish between counting the Omer in last week's Parsha (Emor), with counting the years to Yovel, the jubilee year, in this week's Parsha (Behar). Rabbi Jonathan Sacks draws our attention to the former being every person's counting of days in the immediate future, and the latter being the counting of leaders, including our leadership of ourselves, where we consider the long term we want and how to get there. We dramatically demonstrate this with this week's Haftorah (passage we read this Shabbat from the prophet Jeremiah), which, on the surface, only a notary could love. Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law. ADATH is a modern orthodox synagogue community in suburban Montreal, providing Judaism for the next generation. We take great pleasure in welcoming everyone with a warm smile, while sharing inspiration through prayer, study, and friendship.

The Gemara continues its discussion comparing the redemption of fields and houses during Yovel. The daf then shares a baraita that explains many of the halachot of retziah. Finally a discussion about the kohen who becomes a slave.
