Parsha Potato Heads
The PPH learned this week about the Mitzvah of Shmita that takes place ‫כל שבע שנים‬
every seven years, and Israelis are experiencing it as we speak. This week's riddle: Part of
Parashat BeChukotai, Leviticus 25:14-41, is read in a more silent tone than the rest of the
Torah… Why is this?? Can you find the “opposite” of this part in the Parsha? Answers can
be submitted by Friday and will be announced on Shabbat.
