The Sabbatical Year makes Eretz Yisrael to His Land HaAretz
Video Commentary by Rabbi Chaim Richman, The Temple Institute, Jerusalem:
While in recent years the weight of the commentary by Rabbi Richman hab been laid on the first Parasha “Behar”…
- “G-d commands the children of Israel to observe the sabbatical year by letting the land of Israel rest. This act of sanctifying the land by placing our total faith in G-d, grants us the peace we so fervently desire.”
…his current commentary is focussing the second Parasha “Bechukotai”:
“Wanted: Dead or alive! There is no doubt that G-d loves and wants His people Israel. Either we are alive to His presence, and worthy of the blessings listed in Behar-Bechukotai, or we are dead to His presence, and thus deserving of the horrific admonitions enumerated in Behar-Bechukotai. The choice is ours!”
Shabbat Shalom!
