Emor - Shavuos as Part of the Three Festivals - 6th Aliyah
by Hauer, Rabbi Moshe
The sixth
aliyah
of
Parshas Emor
is about Sukkos, the third and final holiday of the
Shalosh Regalim
. Shavuos, when we received the Torah, is the second holiday of this cycle. It is the harvest time—the time when we were separated from the complete
chessed
of Hashem, and given instructions for how to live "on our own". When Sukkos comes, it is time to gather in the crops- time to see if we have been successful in achieving the balance of independence. If we are able to use our
bechirah
(freewill) properly, we will be developing our
tzelem Elokim
(Divine image) further, maintaining the proper balance between independence and relying on Hashem.
