Parshat Behar-Bechukotai: Letting Go & Being Held
“וַעֲשִׂיתֶם, אֶת-חֻקֹּתַי, וְאֶת-מִשְׁפָּטַי תִּשְׁמְרוּ, וַעֲשִׂיתֶם אֹתָם–
וִישַׁבְתֶּם עַל-הָאָרֶץ, לָבֶטַח.”
“And when you do My statutes and keep My laws and do them;
and you shall dwell in the land securely.” (Leviticus 25:18)
Every time I come across this verse in the Torah, I am overwhelmed by its power. I just want to read it over and over again and wrap myself around it in a desperate attempt to internalize all that which is contained within these holy words.
