Portion of Emor – Is. Independence Day and – Portion of Behar

What is fallibility?

So my computer wasn't working last week! Thanks for fixing it Asaf! But don't we often blame computers for problems? 

Now - a lot of people like to look for fallibility of Rabbis too - but of the Almighty? and the Torah? 

That is one of the reasons that last week's portion tells us not to offer crippled sacrifices, and not have (young or old or) crippled Kohains (priests) do PUBLIC service in the Holy Temple. BUT - Is this Discrimination in the Temple? 

It prevented people from talking about WHO was doing the service - rather than focusing on GETTING CLOSE TO THE ALMIGHTY 

People sometimes lose concentration – so it makes sense- to not present impediments to focusing on G-d.
Note: That disabled priests partook of the priesly portions - just did not do the operations in front of all. 

The next section is based on WEEKLY DVAR by Shlomo Ressler which you can also order online: 

As for this week's Parsha, Behar, it says G-d spoke to Moshe (Moses) on Mount Sinai, 

allowing for six years of planting in Israeli fields, 

but the seventh year is a Sabbath for the land. 

The Sabbatical year LAW proves that only G-d could be the Author who gave the Torah on Mount Sinai. 

G-d promises that the year before the Sabbatical will provide enough crops for the next three years (25:20-21). No human being would ever write this law because it would be disproved within six years! 

So it MUST be a G-dly LAW and a G-dly promise. 

Just as he promised we would be RETURNED TO OUR LAND - and the promise was PROVEN this week 

by ISRAEL's 66 the Independence Day - a proof of G-d's promises - 

like the rest of the Torah 

Shabbat Shalom from Israel
