  • Parshas Behar–Bechukosai: The Weight of Shemittah, Tochecha, and “Only” D’rabbanan Laws
    May 22 2025

    This week on Yeshuas Nissan: Torah Tidbits for Your Shabbos Table, we explore three deep and relevant Divrei Torah for Parshas Behar–Bechukosai:

    📘 “Only Rabbinic” – A story of the Chazon Ish, who teaches us not to take issurim d’rabbanan lightly — with a lesson from salting meat.

    🌾 Why Shemittah Was Taught at Har Sinai – Based on the Chasam Sofer: Why was Shemittah chosen to represent all of Torah at Sinai? Because it proves the Torah is from Heaven.

    📖 Why We Don’t Break Up the Tochecha – The halachic and spiritual logic behind reading the rebuke in one uninterrupted aliyah, and how Chazal taught us to avoid making a bracha on punishments.

    Perfect for the Shabbos table, your weekly learning, or a thoughtful commute.
