Thought for the Week:

Behar: The sabbatical year and Jubilee law reminds us everything belongs to God. We do not really own anything. In Western society it is easy to get caught in the trap of materialism. Bechukotai: In Torah, distinctions between physical and spiritual are not so clear. The whole physical world is spiritual because God created it. The physical world was created out of the spiritual, and the spiritual is inherently present in all physical form and action.
