Behar Bechukotai - are we all indentured servants?

Do we like what we do? Do we live what is a HIGHER PURPOSE -
or just work to eat?

FILL YOUR LIFE WITH PURPOSE – (BASED ON Rabbi Binny Friedman) 

This week we read in the Torah about the particular mitzvah of the Jewish indentured servant (the Eved Ivri). 

Don’t make the mistake, says the Torah of thinking you have simply acquired a person to do your labor,

rather, you have become a partner in rehabilitating someone and allowing him to successfully re-join societY! 

In the portion we also read about = THE SHABBAT OF THE LAND! 

Shabbat FOR people, with its magnificent focus on family and friends, and its distance from the distractions of our action-packed week, 

allows us the opportunity to re- discover our true worth as individuals, and to re- assess what we are attempting to accomplish in our lives. 

The LAND of ISRAEL lives - and the PEOPLE are CHARGED with the duty to HELP REDIRECT PEOPLES' LIVES TO GOOD 

and we pray all our help makes this world a better place 

Love and Shabbos 

Rabbi Andy Eichenholz
