QUESTIONS FOR PARSHAS BEHAR
BY: THE RAV
First Aliyah: (25:1) If the Jews received all the mitzvos at Har Sinai, why mention that Shemittah specifically was taught at Har Sinai? Second Aliyah: (25:17) Why say “no man should afflict his fellow” twice (prev. in v. 14)? Third Aliyah: (25:22) Why is the word “yashan” (old grain) mentioned in this verse twice? Fourth Aliyah: (25:25) What is a “go’el” and why is he/she so called? Fifth Aliyah: (25:29) Why are houses in walled cities different in law from other real estate? Sixth Aliyah: (25:42) If Hashem says here that Jews shouldn’t be sold as slaves, what right is there to have a Jewish slave? Seventh Aliyah: (25:48‐49) Why is a “go’el” defined here and not previously
(in v. 22)?
Weekly Halachah—Parshas Behar R’ Mordechai Torczyner – [email protected]
I learned Torah throughout Shavuos night; do I say Elokai Neshamah in the morning?
The berachah of Elokai Neshamah is recited each morning to thank G‐d for restoring our souls to our bodies, after we have slept. Halachic authorities debate whether this is a berachah about our personal experience, or a global berachah thanking G‐d for doing this on behalf of humanity.
If the berachah is global, then we should recite it each morning regardless of whether we have slept. If the berachah is personal, then we should recite it only after sleeping. Within the latter view, estimates of how much sleep would trigger this berachah vary; one commonly cited number is 30 minutes.
One who did not sleep for 30 minutes straight during the night should satisfy both views by hearing the berachah from someone who has slept. If no such person is available, one may recite the berachah and rely upon the view that the berachah is global rather than personal.

OBLIGATIONS PROCESS Important Information for the 2016‐2017 Membership Year!
At BAYT, members only need to complete an Obligations application once every three years so long as the member’s financial circumstances don’t change, which can be confirmed annually by signing a confirmation form. In other words, when an Obligations application is submitted, membership dues would be set for that year and the next two years. Of course, any member who had suffered a downturn in their financial situation is free to submit a new Obligations application and ask for a lower assessment. If your last application was for 2013‐2014, please make sure you pick up an Obligations application from the office or download one from the Shul’s web‐site. If you submitted an application for either last year or the year before, and your financial circumstances have not changed, then you can keep your dues at the same level by filling out a confirmation form. All forms (available on our website) are due no later than Friday, June 3rd if you intend to participate in the seating lottery and Friday, August 19th for everyone else.
