What Will We Eat? The Power of a Real Question | Parshat Behar

In Parshat Behar, the Torah asks: "What will we eat in the seventh year?"This Sicha challenges the assumption that this is a question of doubt, and instead, through Rashi and Parshat Bo, reframes it as a wise question.We explore Shmita as the Avodah of releasing control, the deeper meaning of the blessing of the sixth year, and the parallel to our own moment in history: the “sixth year,” a sixth millennium, marked by both exertion and effort, yet still, we continue to trust the promise the unfolding redemption.A conversation about what it means to ask, to trust, and to keep going:  even when we don’t yet see how it will be sustained.A PDF of the sicha can be found here: A PDF of the sicha can be found by clicking here.
