## Resource

In this episode of The Daily Derech, Rabbi Marcus Rubenstein explores Parashat Behar-Bechukotai, Hilchot sacred texts from Rambam, and a teaching from Menorat HaMaor about the dangers of jealousy. The Me’am Loez section focuses on the Yovel, or Jubilee year, when land returned to its original owners, slaves were freed, and debts were forgiven. Rabbi Rubenstein highlights the communal shofar blowing on Yom Kippur and describes the ten-day transition period in which former slaves were treated with dignity and equality before returning home. He emphasizes how the Jubilee created both economic and social leveling within society. The Rambam section discusses the sanctity of holy writings and the prohibition against destroying sacred texts. Rabbi Rubenstein explains how later halachic practice adapted to modern realities, permitting disposal of texts without divine names. The Menorat HaMaor section examines jealousy, especially envy toward wealthy people. Rabbi Rubenstein explains that jealousy ultimately harms the person who carries it, eroding inner peace and distancing a person from a meaningful life.
