Q & A with Rabbi Riskin
This week's question asks whether one may play football on Shabbat. |
 |
| Today's business world is becoming more and more complicated. Have you
ever
been asked to work on something you aren't sure is ethical? Have you ever
wondered whether downloading MP3 files is considered stealing? Felt guilty
about using a sick day for personal errands, or making personal phone calls
from work? Rabbi Dr. Asher Meir, who has both studied and taught at
the Straus Rabbinical Seminary's David Falk Kollel, answers your
questions relating to business ethics, online. |

Behar-Bechukotai
We are presently in that unique period within the Hebrew
calendar which is known as sefirah, literally, the count, referring to
the counting of the days and weeks (forty-nine days, seven weeks)
between the Festivals of Passover and Shavuot; on the second day of
Passover the Israelites in Temple times would bring the barley offering
(omer), and everyone would then begin to count each day until Shavuot,
the fiftieth day when the Israelites would bring two loaves of bread
(wheat) as the first-fruits offering to the Temple. This actual
commandment to count the days and weeks (u'sefartem lakhem) was recorded
in last Sabbath's Torah reading, Emor (Leviticus 23:15).
