“Bechukotai” (If you follow my laws) from Leviticus 26:327:17 and the Maftir in Leviticus 27:30-33, is an epilogue to the Book of Leviticus, bestowing blessings for obedience to God’s commandments and curses for violating them. As this Parashah closes the Book of Leviticus, people chant “Chazak, chazak. v’neet Chazeik,” “Be strong, be strong, and may we all be strengthened.”
Beit HaLev and Rabbi Galit-Shirah are affiliated with the Union of Jewish Universalist Communities and Clergy and the International Federation of Rabbis. It is progressive in thought and traditional in liturgy. The services are joyous, meaningful and musical. Beit HaLev welcomes everyone who seeks a path to the divine and doesn’t believe in labels.
