 Parshat
B'har-B'chukotai

Upper-left is the Liberty Bell (Philadelphia, Liberty Bell Park,
Jerusalem, and the back of what U.S. coin?), upon which is inscribed the pasuk from B'har
- "And you shall proclaim liberty throughout the Land to all its inhabitants."
The Shofar (rather than a bell) is what we use for that purpose. The 0% wallet (do
notconfuse with cottage cheese) is for lending without interest. The abacus is to help in
the counting of the years of Shmita and Yovel cycles. Eretz Yisrael is not for sale. Is
the reference to Shabbat for "regular" Shabbat, or Shmita. Adding machine is to
properly calculate and evaluate value land, not to cheat people.The tractor (for Shmita)
is next to Har Sinai (actually, Gibraltar with Luchot in it). This is for the famous
question. Right side, top to bottom: If we follow G-d and keep His mitzvot, then we will
be blessed with rain, have bounty and eat food (bread) to our satisfaction, and peace will
reign. We will be able to prevailagainst our enemies (the Tzahal emblem). But if not...
skull & crossbones. End of B'chukotai has mitzva of tithing sheep and goats.
