S3E9 Behar 2023

In this week's parsha, Behar, we learn about reset buttons that God devised. God believes in giving people second chances. This is why He designed: -Shemitah, which is a time when people release others from the monetary debts they owe. -Yovel, which is a time when people release others from their service, and slaves go free. -Yovel, which is a time when ancestral properties return to their original owner. In this way, God devised a society which was fair and just. No Hebrew would ever be locked into their fate- always born landless, impoverished, or as a slave. People had the chance to start over, and begin again. There's much we can learn from this in our own society!
