Behar
Rabbi Schapiro on the Parshah: Behar
Parshas Behar opens with Shemitah's connection to Har Sinai, prompting the question of why this restrictive, land-and-time-bound mitzvah was chosen to teach that every mitzvah's details were given at Sinai. The shiur unpacks Shemitah as training for the six years that follow it rather than merely their conclusion, and argues that Shemitah's ability to carry the feeling that all comes from Hashem into ordinary working days gives it an edge even over Shabbos.
