In this week's parsha, Behar, we learn about reset buttons that God devised. God believes in giving people second chances. This is why He designed:
-Shemitah, which is a time when people release others from the monetary debts they owe.
-Yovel, which is a time when people release others from their service, and slaves go free.
-Yovel, which is a time when ancestral properties return to their original owner.
In this way, God devised a society which was fair and just. No Hebrew would ever be locked into their fate- always born landless, impoverished, or as a slave. People had the chance to start over, and begin again. There's much we can learn from this in our own society!
