This week's Torah portion, Behar, presents a new way to regulate the economic and agricultural life of ancient Israel, one that reoriented the Israelites back towards what was most important. I’m not a rabbi, so every week, I look at our Torah portion and try to put it in conversation with the world around me. Judaism is rich in tradition, and each of us deserves the chance to find our own meaning in the text. Whether you’re studying Torah daily, or taking a moment to prepare for Shabbat, I hope you’ll make these ten minutes of Torah part of your week.
