Parshas Behar–Bechukosai | Emunah, Shmitta & Preparing for Sukkos

this week’s shiur on Parshas Behar–Bechukosai, Rabbi Bayer explores the deeper meaning behind Shmitta, emunah, and accepting the Torah, and how these ideas prepare us spiritually for Sukkos and the coming year. The shiur discusses the custom of reading the tochacha (rebuke) before Yom Tov, as brought in the Gemara, and how this period is connected to judgment, spiritual cleansing, and renewal. Rabbi Bayer explains how the world’s existence depends on the Jewish people’s connection to Torah and mitzvos. Topics discussed: ✨ The spiritual meaning of Shmitta and trusting in Hashem ✨ Why emunah is the foundation of all mitzvah observance ✨ Preparing emotionally and spiritually for Sukkos ✨ The connection between Torah acceptance and the world’s existence ✨ The deeper power of Shabbos during golus ✨ How Shabbos today carries the kedusha of the korbanos Through teachings from Chazal, Rashi, and the Radvaz, this shiur highlights the power of faith, preparation, and strengthening our relationship with Hashem even when we do not fully understand every mitzvah. ⸻ 📖 Join Rabbi Bayer LIVE every Thursday night at 8:30 PM (EST) on Zoom 🔗 https://us05web.zoom.us/j/81602641227?pwd=qaSH9SoKb7
