through humility. Rashbi’s words, as well, stemmed from the truth of
Torah.
“ – This is the law of the burnt-offering.” The Torah
elevates a person. Based on this, Rashbi stated that he was included
among the men of elevation, i.e., those who pursued Torah studies. He
continued that he had the power to nullify harsh decrees through the
power of the Torah, which elevates man.
The way to acquire Torah is by means of nullifying oneself before it. This
will enable a person to produce novel Torah insights. This is the
connection between parshiyot Behar and Bechukotai. Parashat Behar
describes Har Sinai, the symbol of humility, and parashat Bechukotai
discusses exertion in Torah, which produces novelty.
“Mouth to mouthdoI speaktohim,ina clear
vision and not in riddles, at the image of
Hashem does he gaze. Why did you not fear to
speak against My servant Moshe?”
