Episode 36 - Shabbat, the Land & the Call to Return

from Kosher News & Torah Talk · host Aja Jade

This week’s episode, “Shabbat, the Land, and the Call to Return,” examines the convergence between Parashat Behar, the biblical concept of both Shabbat and the Jubilee cycle, and the recent historic national proclamation in the United States calling for Sabbath rest and reflection. The discussion explores how Torah establishes cycles of rest not only for individuals, but for the land itself, and how these themes connect to stewardship, covenant responsibility, healing, and restoration. Special guests Chief Joseph RiverWind and Ambassador Dr. Laralyn RiverWind of FireKeepers International (www.firekeepersinternational.o...) join the conversation to discuss First Nations perspectives on land stewardship, sacred cycles, generational responsibility, and the parallels between indigenous understanding of the land and the Torah principles found in Behar. The episode also reflects on 2 Chronicles 7:14, the healing of the land, and the importance of humility, prayer, repentance, and covenant alignment in times of national uncertainty.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kosher-news-torah-talk--5375868/support.
