6 of 613

First of your crops. Mitzva 606 of the Torah is to bring from the first of our crops , every year to the Beis Hamigdosh.
We thank Hashem for it & remind ourselves who is the Owner !
We say every morning that this Mitzva has no specific measure.
This is the first Mitzva of the 6 in the Parsha this week.
This also reminds us of Rosh Hashana the beginning of a new year to thank Hashem for it.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.

Avoid Mixing

We have a series of Mitzvos in this Parsha on avoiding mixing such as Shatnes ( wool & linen ).
One of them is don't have 2 different animals work together such as an ox & a donkey.
Baal Haturim explains one reason is because the ox chews its cud thus the donkey will feel cheated - why does she get more food than me ?
This is a lesson in how we need to be sensitive to other peoples feelings. !
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.

Clothing Mitzva

What Mitzva can we do with our clothing every day ?
With a little thought we can gain this Mitzva every day !
For a woman - not to wear mens clothing.
For a Man - not to wear womens clothing.
Spend a moment thinking about this and a great Mitzva # 542 &543.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.
