Week 2

The Mishna Torah chapters for the week of Yom Kippur (usually for Erev Yom Kippur or Yom Kippur itself) include Hilchot Teshuvah, the laws of repentance.




Week 36:

Shavuot is Chag HaBikurim. The Torah reading for the chag (when it doesn't fall on Shabbat) starts with the laws of Bechorot. The Mishnayot chapters for Shavuot and the days leading up to it are the ones for Bechorot. Shavuot is also the culmination of the redemption process that began on Pessach, where we were called, Beni Bechori, Yisrael. The remaining Mishnah chapters relate to Erchin, which is about offering ones' "worth" as a donation to the Temple; it is a kind of "giving over" similar to what happened at Mount Sinai, when the Jewish people said, Na'aseh veNishmah. Erchin is also a topic in the Torah reading of Bechukotai, at the very end of Vayikrah, always read before Shavuot).


Week 37:

Temura is about someone who tries to switch the holiness of one animal for that of another. When doing so, while the first one does not lose its holiness, the second now becomes holy is as well. This represents an important lesson for the week following Shavuot and the Shiva Yemei Miluim. After acquiring the Torah and experiencing such a high, we now switch back to the mundane, and the pull of the Klipot is much stronger. The Torah comes to teach us that during this switch, not only does the "first animal" (one's earlier Shavuot state) not lose its holiness, the "second animal" (this new stage, of involvement in the world) becomes holy as well.

Week 36

Choshen Mishpat sections for this week are about the different ways of acquiring land. It then also speaks of acquiring non-Jews and acquiring servants. This all seems very much related to our acquisition of the Torah, as well as G-d's acquisition of us as his servants (previously in the status of non-Jews, at least to some extent). (The last chapters of the Tractate of Erchin (next week) also relate to issues involving the acquisition of land and the Jubilee, year 50, like Shavuot, the 50th day.)


Week 37

The chapters of Choshen Mishpat of this week continue to focus on Kinyan, many of them focusing additional secondary items related to the property acquired. Often, the secondary items are included in the original sale, although at times those items need to be separately identified. Similar to what was mentioned above, the acquisition of the Torah is meant to be expansive, leading to the sanctification of "secondary" items, as well. bringing them from the realm of the mundane into the realm of the holy.
