Parashat Behar Bechukotai
Kol Rina An Independent Minyan Parshiyot Behar - Bechukotai May 16, 2020 *** Iyar 22, 5780 Kol Rina – An Independent Minyan, is a traditional egalitarian community. We are haimish (homey/folksy), friendly, participatory, warm and welcoming. We hold weekly services in South Orange as well as holiday services and celebrations which are completely lay led. We welcome all to our services and programs from non-Hebrew readers to Jewish communal and education professionals. Behar – Bechukotai in a Nutshell https://www.chabad.org/parshah/article_cdo/aid/2904/jewish/Behar-Bechukotai-in-a-Nutshell.htm 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. -

Parashat Behar-Bechukotai
NEWS YOU CAN USE IMPORTANT INFORMATION TIME SENSITIVE RESPONSE REQUIRED PARASHAT BEHAR-BECHUKOTAI Leviticus 25:1 – 27:34 Parashat Behar-Bechukkotai opens on Mount Sinai. At the introduction to this parasha, we find the detailed laws related to sh'mitah, the sabbatical year as well as the yovel, the jubilee year. While sh'mitah involves a seven–year cycle of letting the land lay fallow and the remission of loans, the yovel reflects a fifty-year cycle involving the emancipation of slaves and the return of property to their original owners. Abarbanel; the medieval exegete, (1437-1508, Spain, Italy) suggests that sh'mitah and yovel were emblematic of two of God's expressions of kindness: creation as in the first Shabbat after the creation of the world and revelation as in the giving of Torah fifty days after the Israelites flight from Egypt. For Abarbanel, the cyclical pattern of seven reflected in sh'mitah is part of the larger, existential order of God's creation of the world; similarly, yovel, the jubilee year connects us directly back to the moment of revelation at Sinai through recalling the number fifty. Creation and revelation become bound in two sacred moments in the Jewish calendar. During the seventh year, one is compelled to remember God created the land that we cultivate. Moreover, God is the ultimate loan officer as all blessings emanate from this source. The jubilee year reminds us explicitly of the moment in which God declares unequivocally that we are God's servants — not the servants of humans. Therefore, it is not surprising that slaves are emancipated; they return to the master of the universe. -
Behar Bechukotai
The Tribe Weekly Newsletter This week’s Parashot are Behar and Bechukotai Shabbat Times in London Shabbat begins: 8.32pm Shabbat ends: 9.46pm This week there are two Parashot (Weekly Torah portions) and they are the last two Parashot (Weekly Torah portions) in the third book of the Torah, Vayikra (Leviticus). Amongst all the laws given to Moshe (Moses) on Mount Sinai, one of the laws God taught Moshe (Moses) was that of the Shemitta year (The Sabbatical year for the Land of Israel). Every seventh year, the land was to lie fallow and all work on the land was to stop, with its produce to be taken freely by anyone. Then, after seven cycles of Sabbatical years (the 50th year), a Yovel (Jubilee) year was to follow, during which the land could not be worked, servants were set free and all kinds of property belonging to a person’s family in the Land of Israel that had been sold, went back to their original owners. The Parashot (Weekly Torah portions) continue with other laws about the sale of land, laws about not charging interest on loans and laws about how to treat servants before releasing them in the Yovel (Jubilee) year. God promised the Children of Israel that if they observe His commandments, they will be prosperous and live securely in the Land of Israel. But God also warned the Children of Israel that they would not experience His blessings and goodness if they abandon Him. Nevertheless, God reassures them that He will never abandon them, even when they are living in other lands. -

The Covenant and the Love (Eikev 5780)
בס"ד עקב תש״ף Eikev 5780 Scan (after Shabbat) to join one of Rabbi Sacks’ WhatsApp “With thanks to Te Maurice Wohl Charitable Foundation for their generous sponsorship of Covenant & Conversation. Maurice was a visionary philanthropist. Vivienne was a woman of the deepest humility. Together, they were a unique partnership of dedication and grace, for whom living was giving.” The Covenant and the Love An interesting phrase appears at the end of last week’s parsha and at the beginning of this week’s, and they are the only places where it appears in the Torah. The phrase is ha-brit veha-chessed (Deuteronomy 7:9) or in this week’s parsha, et ha-brit ve-et ha-chessed (Deut. 7:12). Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping the brit and the chessed to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments. (Deut. 7:9) If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the Lord your God will keep the brit and the chessed with you, as He swore to your ancestors. (Deut. 7:12) The phrase is strange. The relationship between God and Israel is defined by brit, covenant. That, essentially, is the content of the Torah. What then is added by the word chessed? The translators have a problem with it. The Jewish Publication Society’s translation of the opening verse of our parsha is: “And if you do obey these rules and observe them carefully, the Lord your God will maintain faithfully for you the covenant that He made on oath with your fathers.” This translates chessed as “faithfully” and takes it as a qualification of the verb “maintain” or “keep”. -
Behar-Bechukotai 2018 / 5778
We Are What We Do Not Own Behar-Bechukotai 2018 / 5778 The late Maurice and Vivienne Wohl were one of the most remarkable couples I ever met. They were a study in contrasts. Maurice was quiet, introspective, reflective and reserved. Vivienne was outgoing and vivacious, a people person in the truest sense. They complemented one another perfectly: two halves of a whole. What made them special, outwardly, was that they were givers on a monumental scale. In Israel, for example, they donated the 19-acre rose garden next to the Knesset and the striking Daniel Libeskind-designed cultural centre at Bar Ilan University. They endowed medical facilities in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, as well as at King’s College and University College, London. They supported Jewish schools in Britain and yeshivot in Israel – and all this hardly touches the surface of their philanthropy. What was really moving, though, was how they became a couple in the first place, because Vivienne was thirty years younger than Maurice. When they met, Maurice was in his late forties, a dedicated businessman seemingly destined for a life of bachelorhood. Vivienne, not yet 20, was the daughter of friends of Maurice who had asked whether she could work for him during a vacation. One day, Maurice offered to take her for lunch. On their way to the restaurant, they passed a beggar in the street. Maurice gave him a coin, and walked on. Vivienne stopped and asked Maurice if he would be kind enough to give her in advance a substantial sum – she named the figure – from this week’s wages. -

Spark2, the Tribe Weekly Parsha Activity Sheet for Children's Service
Welcome to Spark2, the Tribe weekly parsha activity sheet for Children’s Service Leaders across the United Synagogue communities. Thank you for offering to run a service. The US is very proud of the numerous Children’s Services that are run every week across the UK and this would not happen without you. Spark2 gives you an overview of the weekly parsha, a song, activity or Dvar Torah linked to the parsha or important event that week. Every children’s service will be different, in terms of how many participants there are, their age range, its length and the varying abilities of the children. Please read through the document and find the activities that will best suit the needs of your group. It is advisable to read it before Shabbat in case there is some preparation that may be needed in advance. I hope you and the children at your service will benefit from Spark2. Please be in touch if you have any queries, feedback or if I can be of any help. With best wishes, Sharon Radley [email protected] Please note: There is a double parsha this week. Behar Parsha Summary: The parsha begins by giving us the laws of the Shmita Year which would take place when the Jewish people entered Eretz Yisrael. Every seventh year was to be a Shabbat, rest year, for the land. For six years one was able to work the land but on the seventh it must be left. At the end of the Shmita year, all loans are forgiven. Every fiftieth year would be a Yovel/Jubilee Year. -
