Private Property & God

פרשת בהר / י”ז באייר תשפ”ב – ל”ב בעומר

While the Torah has a respect for private property and wants us to earn our way in the world, Shmita reminds us that, in the final analysis, God is in control of the world. We are commanded to make the most of our situation but if God does not help us we just won’t succeed.
