Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, z’l: Behar – Behukkotai – Family Feeling

Rabbi Sacks, z’l, cites 4 different verses that require us to be financially responsible for the well-being of our brothers. “Brothers” implies not just siblings and immediate or extended family, but the entire community. He cites Hosea, who describes God as a Parent, teaching a child to take its first steps.

Rabbi Adam Ruditsky: Parasha Behar Behukkotai- Reap What You Sow

“…in Bechukotai from Leviticus 26:3 and 26:14 we read simply that if God’s laws concerning the land are followed then there will be “rains in their season the earth shall yield its produce and the trees of the field their fruit,” but if they do not “you shall sow your seed to no purpose, for your enemies shall eat it.”
