Weekly D'Var Torah by 8th Grader Hannah Weisman
Behar-Bechukotai, Leviticus 25-27
"This week's double parsha is Behar-Bechukotai, which are the last in the book of Vayikra. As a very serious musician I immediately noticed when reading Bechukotai that it is structured similar to a coda. For all you non-musicians, the coda is at the very end of a piece of music and sums it all up. So while it's a double portion, the musician in me is going to focus in on just Bechukotai."
