Behar – Bechukotai: Parsha Jewish Wisdom - Torah And The Limits Of Human Endeavour

What does Jewish Wisdom, Torah, the parsha tell us about the world we live in? A world that worships productivity, hustle and achievement. Why does the Torah constantly link six days of work to Shabbat, and six years of labour to Shemittah? Why is failure to keep Shemittah considered so serious that it leads to exile?Judaism, Jewish Wisdom, Torah tells us that we are commanded to build, create and strive. Yet, we are never to believe that we are the source of our success. Shabbat and Shemittah are not escapes from life; they are powerful reminders of the limits of human control, the danger of ego, and the need to return to the true Source of blessing.Come along on a Jewish journey through Shabbat, Shemittah, Har Sinai, emunah, work, ambition and the Jewish mission itself.Send Rabbi Grant Leboff a message
