A thought for the week

This week we celebrated Lag BaOmer, the yahrtzeit of the Talmudic sage Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, who authored the Zohar, the pre-eminent work of Kabbalah. Because he understood that a soul’s return to its maker is a joyful time for the soul, he requested that the anniversary of his passing be celebrated rather than mourned.

Over time, the mystical teachings of Kabbalah have become more popular, coming to a head with the establishment of the Chassidic movement by the Baal Shem Tov and then Chabad, by the Alter Rebbe, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi. For the last two and a half centuries, through the teachings of Chabad, the mystical side of the Torah has been made available for all to understand and apply to our everyday lives.

Everything we teach at Chabad is infused with Jewish mysticism, bringing the secrets of Torah to everyone on a regular basis. So join a class today!

Shabbat shalom.

Parshah

Parshat Behar-Bechukotai

On the mountain of Sinai, G‑d communicates to Moses the laws of the Sabbatical year: every seventh year, all work on the land should cease, and its produce becomes free for the taking for all, man and beast.

Seven Sabbatical cycles are followed by a fiftieth year—the Jubilee year, on which work on the land ceases, all indentured servants are set free, and all ancestral estates in the Holy Land that have been sold revert to their original owners. Additional laws governing the sale of lands, and the prohibitions against fraud and usury, are also given.

G‑d promises that if the people of Israel will keep His commandments, they will enjoy material prosperity and dwell secure in their homeland. But He also delivers a harsh “ rebuke,” warning of the exile, persecution and other evils that will befall them if they abandon their covenant with Him. Nevertheless, “Even when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away; nor will I ever abhor them, to destroy them and to break My covenant with them; for I am the L‑rd their G‑d.”

The Parshah concludes with the rules on how to calculate the values of different types of pledges made to G‑d.
