Har Sinai, Round Two — You’ve Done It Once, You Can Do It Again BeHar

 There are momentsin life when a person is asked to let go—not because it makes sense, notbecause it feels safe, but because it is right. Parashat Behar introduces themitzvah of shemittah with an unexpected reminder: “on Har Sinai.” Why here? Whynow? In this powerful class, we explore a striking insight from Rabbi YissocherFrand, Rav Asher Weiss, and Rav Zalman Sorotzkin: shemittah is not just anagricultural law—it is Har Sinai all over again. The same inner strength thatallowed Benei Yisrael to declare נַעֲשֶׂה וְנִשְׁמָע—“we will do before weunderstand”—is the very strength required to step back, release control, andtrust HaShem with our livelihood, our plans, and our lives.     Inthis class we try to uncover a deeper definition of strength—not the power toact, but the power to restrain, to trust, and to rise above instinct. Whetherin business, relationships, or personal struggles, we are all faced withmoments that demand this kind of gevurah. The message is simple buttransformative: you’ve already stood at Sinai—you’ve already done theimpossible. And if you’ve done it once, you can do it again.
