Portions Emor and Behar – Go Tell it on the Mountain – Shabbos is Forever
(The Torah we have and the Traditions we have (evolving even to this day
can bring a person and a community and a people and THE WORLD
to Spiritual Heights and greatness that can fix all the pettiness and foolishness – and even the anger in the world
if we only look into the portion each week to see how
So last Shabbat I was home in Israel - and now I'm this Shabbat in the exile
where we read the same portion (Emor) that I heard last week in Shul!
(But I still study the portion for ISRAEL (Behar
- and we find a PARALEL wording in the two portions!
Like a parallel universe –
Like a parallel teaching -
Leviticus (Vayikra) Chapter 23 (read in Israel LAST week –and this week in the Diaspora
is similar in some wording to Chapter 25 -this week's reading in Israel -when COUNTING up to 49 DAYS OR YEARS
to reach a holy purpose -
"seven days to the Sabbath-
Seven times seven days to the Sefirat HaOmer - and in years to the Yovel of freedom!
Just ONE DAY a week up to the Sabbath and PEACE - and it raises your spirit up
Also – EACH GOOD YEAR of a lifetime can add up to the Peace of Freedom of the Yovel 50th year
so
Lift your life up one day
One week
A year and a life of years - and your whole life can be
Like the Rabbi Shlomo song
L-rtd bring me higher – just with one song"
Just one prayer
"Just one word
Just one line" or a mitzvah
adding up seven days seven weeks seven years times seven years
A Yovel of freedom from a little Shabbos –
Sabbath peace –
to last a day – or a week or a lifetime
Shabbat Shalom
