Behar: The Jubilee Year
The sabbatical year and Jubilee law reminds us that, ultimately, everything belongs to God. We do not really own anything. Instead, “The earth is the LORD’S, and all it contains” (Psalm 24:1). In Western society it is easy to get caught in the trap of materialism.

Bechukotai Study to Learn; Learn to Do
In Torah the distinctions between physical and spiritual are not so clear. The whole physical world is spiritual because God created it.
