PARASHATBEHAR/BECHUKOTAI

Page696intheStoneChumash1stAliya: Parshas BeHar begins with the laws of Shemitah and Yovel. The land lay fallow every 7th year, and after the 49th year, (7×7) it lay fallow a 2nd year for the 50th as well. 2ndAliya: Hashem (G-d) promises (25:21-22) that He will provide for the nation, regardless of the land being fallow. No one will go hungry. The return, at Yovel, of all hereditary lands to their original owners is commanded. 3rdAliya: The difference between the sale of a property in a walled city vs. an unwalled city is established. Continuing the theme of providing and dependency, we are commanded to provide for our impoverished brethren. Just as Hashem provides for us, we must provide for each other. 4thAliya: The freeing of all Jewish slaves at the Yovel is detailed. The Torah discusses redeeming a Jewish slave from a non-Jewish owner, and the formula for how much to pay the non-Jewish master. We begin reading BeChukotai. The opening verses describe the wondrous successes awaiting the nation, so longastheyfollowHashem’sMitzvot.5thAliya: This Aliya is called the Tocheche – The Rebuke. It is a lengthy description of the terrible punishments awaiting the nation, if they do not follow the Torah. It is customary for the Baal Koreh (Reader) to have this Aliya, and to read it faster and more quietly than the rest of the Parsha. 6thAliya: The established prices for endowments of individual worth, or that of an animal, are listed. 7thAliya: The �inal portion deals with endowments of property to the Bais Hamikdas h.

HAFTARAHFORBEHAR/BECHUKOTAI Page1179intheStoneChumash

Yirmiyahu’s words ring with the same urgency and fear as the Tochacha itself. Yirmiyahu was the Navi who beseeched his people to repent before the impending destruction and exile of the nation. He decried the delusions of those who used their ill begotten wealth to serve idols and foreign ideologies. They denied the benevolence of G-d and were destined to go into exile. The acquisition of wealth through illegal means is a denial of G-d’s ability to provide and protect. He who trusts in man for his strength and future is destined to be betrayed. He will be as a lone tree in the wilderness (17:6) bereft of protection or support. On the other hand, he who trusts in G-d will be blessed and secured. Reemphasizing the message of Sefer Vayikra, Yirmiyahu exhorts the nation to beg G-d for salvation and healing, and to trust His constant love and caring.

KASHRUSNEWSIMPORTANTMESSAGEFROMTHEOUDue to COVID-19, some companies are facing challenges producing OU certi�ied products because of the inability to meet certain requirements. As a result, the OU may be temporarily removed from packaging of these products. Rest assured that the OU will not appear on any products which do not meet OU standards. Consumers should NOT rely on their familiarity of brands or products without verifying the presence of a kosher symbol. This is always true when purchasing food products online, as the product displayed or description may have a kosher claim, but the product received may not have a kosher symbol or be kosher certi�ied. COFFEEBEANANDTEALEAFAnnounced on May 12: “ . . . we will be moving to non-kosher bakery and begin serving a new array of food options Monday, June 8, 2020 . . . While our stores and bakery items will no longer be kosher certi�ied, we will continue to offer a wide assortment of products made from kosher ingredients. Our packaged coffees, teas and powders remain certi�ied kosher through Kosher Supervision of America (KSA) and our behind-the-bar beverages will continue to be crafted using kosher ingredients. We will also offer a variety of kosher certi�ied Cold Case and Impulse options for our Guests. www.coffeebean.com/blog/our-stores/we-are-making-some-changes
