PARASHAT BEHAR
1
Transcript
The number seven is a distinguished theme
in the Torah; there are seven days of the week,
seven heavens, seven years including the shmitta,
seven regions of lands. Also we see how holy the
seventh son can really be; in the book of Samuel,
we learn that Jesse had seven sons, his seventh was
the future King David ; of the Hebrew months,
the seventh,Tishrei, is special as the whole
world and each year is judged on this month.
So as we can see the number 7 int the torah
is very honored and important, which
shows how important shmitta is.
THE END!!!!
SHABAT SHALOM <3
Parshat Behar has only 57 verses,making it the shortest parshah in the Torah so far. The Parshah starts of relating the laws of the Sh’mitta year (Sabbatical year), that every seven years, on the seventh year one shall let rest and lie fallow their fields. It is on the seventh year they do not plow and produce from their field, it is a year to allow the poor, ownerless animals and converts to take from the produce of the field.
The parshah then discusses the Jubilee year (Yovail), occurring every 50 years, this year takes place after 7 cycles of Sh’mitta years. On the Yom Kippur of the 50th year, a Shofar was sounded to pronounce the Jubilee, at this point, land and houses in the land of Israel went back to the original owner and all Jewish slaves were allowed to go free after their time in servitude
The Torah then talks about the prohibitions of overcharging and hurting other Jews feelings. Included in this, one should refrain from reminding someone of his past behavior also if one is asked a question by another, they should not reply rudely or give an incorrect answer. It is also prohibited to call another Jew by an insulting nickname.
PARASHAT BEHAR
The Parshah then orders us to treat ones
Hebrew servant well , for example giving them
good clothes, bedding and food. The Talmud teaches
us that 'one who buys himself a slave buys
himself a master. This shows that if one is
employing someone even in modern days,
it is proper to work them under suitable conditions
to make them as comfortable as possible,
while they are under the persons domain.
The Torah then relates the obligation of
putting a needy Jew back on his feet,
by giving out loans, helping them in
business and giving charity.
