Portion of Behar BechuKotai
Double Portions are always hard to grasp in a nutshell
And here we have the culmination of the whole third book of the Torah! Starting off with
The essence of Sinai and the essence of holiness - and "wholiness" - humanity - as Rabbi Neria wrote:
Here we have The laws of Release and Resting of the land on the Sabbatical year
Whose purpose is to remind everyone to restore their Souls and Spirituality - at least once in a while!
To ditch the rat race for a year was NEVER easy - and today?
And do what? Be what?
So here is the take From rabbi Aron in Israel (Oraita Organization)
from his book - Sparks - by Rabbi David Aaron
I took out of the land of Egypt; I am the Lord G- d." ~~
Leviticus 25:55
There is an Eastern teaching thatproclaims, "Be here and now."
Torah however wouldsay, "Serve G-d here and now." Indeed, this is the fullest experience
of life.
The Kabbalah teaches that G-d
wants to Be Present - in the here and now, and our job is to serve G-d in that desire.
Therefore, to serve G-d
means to infuse each moment
with the presence of G-d. In other
words,
(here I paraphrase)
I can always ask myself, "How can I serve G- d
right
now?" -and make myself more aware of the Almighty in This World
Giving myself a holy and wholly and Torah dimension and Torah light into this
Sabbatical time.
Blessing you all with a Sabbath of Joy and a Sabbatical of wholiness ...
Rabbi Andy Eichenholz
