Parashiot Behar (at the mountain) Bechukotai (If you follow
my rules)
These sections are the last two of the book of Leviticus.
The first one deals mainly with the rules of Shmita and Iovel, the
seventh and the fiftieth year.
We read in chapter 26:20-21: And if ye
shall say, “What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow nor
gather in our increase. Then I will command My blessing
upon you..."
Many times we ask and
our kids ask: What are we going to eat today? And when we or they hear the
answer... There is a complaint...
How should we react?
How should we educate ourselves and our kids?
Hashem blesses us
with the possibility of having food on our plates. Many times this is something
we take for granted. It should not be that way.
Having a plate of
food is a blessing that Hashem sends to us, hopefully every day.
