We have arrived at the finale of the book of Vayikra with this week’s double parshiot: Behar Bechukotai. The main focus of the book has been ‘kedusha’: holiness. In fact much of the book has dealt with the Temple, our sanctified space, and how to maintain this sanctity. We have also seen the notion of sanctifying ourselves. Last week there was a list of all the festivals, our sanctified times. This week the parsha turns to sacred land: the sanctity of the Land of Israel and how to preserve this. It begins with the laws of shemita the sabbatical year, the laws of buying and selling land in Israel and ends with the ‘blessings and the curses’.
