In the 50th year of Yovel, land reverts back to its original owner; slaves are freed & debts are canceled.
We are commanded to assist the poor thru various methods of tzedaka & chesed, helping them to ultimately 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, inc. referring to a convert's past life.
Haftora: Yechezkel 32, "Vayomer Yirmiyahu."
(Note: Outside of Israel, Parshat Emor is read this Shabbat. Next Shabbat, we read B’Chukotai in Israel, while the double-portion B’Har-B’Chukotai is read outside of Israel. We will all be together on Parshat Bamidbar in 2 weeks; a fitting gesture of unity just before Shavuot, when we accepted the Torah as one person, with one heart!)

Hosha'ana Rabba FLYDUBAI & HOSHANA RABBA- ANI VAHU HOSHIA NA- I & HIM SAVE US
"Ani vaHu Hoshia Na", "I and Him, Save Us". We don't just pray to Him, but we also pray to and for ourselves that we should emulate and educate our children to have that instinctive altruism with which He created the world. President Trump seemed amused about Yaniv Hayon, our PLUMBER who confidently worked with G-d like Superman (he learned from a pilot on a TV show!) to save 174 lives on the Dubai hijacking, but we in Israel are totally accustomed already 78 years to our plumbers, teachers, garbage-men, rabbis, farmers & doctors being Hashem's shlichim! This is what Zionism is about.
