B'Har deals primarily with Shmita & Yovel. Every 7 years, Hashem commands the Land to rest. G-d promises a special blessing so we will have enough to eat for 3 years even when the fields lie fallow. In the 50th year of Yovel, land reverts back to its original owner; slaves are freed & debts canceled.

We are commanded to assist the poor through tzedaka & chesed, & by raising them to help themselves. We may not charge interest on loans to fellow Jews. We are to observe Shabbat & shun idolatry. We may not oppress others, by word or deed, even refraining from referring to a convert's past life.

    What's Fasting Got to Do With It?

    A day of fasting in the Jewish calendar – such as this Sunday's Fast of Tammuz – is not one of dieting, but rather a day of introspection and teshuva (contrition and remorse). We are not fasting for something far-removed from ourselves, but rather for our situation this very day.

    Taking Medicine to Facilitate Mitzvot

    Last Friday, I developed minor nasal issues, resembling my allergies. I figured that if I take my allergy medicine and wake up symptom-free, I can assume it was allergies. Was I permitted to take it (nasal spray) on Shabbat?

    Automatic Commerce in Cryptocurrency on Shabbat

    I joined a “stock exchange” for crypto coins, in which I can buy and sell, and have a linked service that enables me to create “bots” to find and carry out deals 24/7. If I do not shut it off for Shabbat (which is easy), it will almost certainly find profitable trades. May I let the bots run on Shabbat?

    The Laws of Three Weeks

    May I Attend a Wedding During the Three Weeks?

    I live in a predominantly Ashkenazic community where the “Three Weeks” are observed with no music, and certainly no celebrations or weddings. A Sefardic family in the neighborhood has scheduled a wedding during the Three Weeks.
