Ultimately self-centred behaviour will lead to the demise not just of the society or
community, but the individuals who have been part of that community. Conversely,
the sacrifice that seems to be at the heart of the teaching of Behar is actually that
which leads to the blessings adumbrated in Bechukotai, “You shall eat your fill of
bread and dwell securely in your land.” When we give to the other, we receive.

yourself, and also to be able to do Torah readings on behalf of the community.

subtle mixture of patos and humour, this moving documentary
film tracks seven Israeli and Palestinian children who live in
Jerusalem and its surrounding areas. Released in in 2001, this
Oscar nominated and Emmy award winning film has lost none
of its relevance or timeliness.
