Behar, BeHar, Be-har, or B'har ( – Hebrew for "on the mount," the fifth word, and the first distinctive word, in the parashah) is the 32nd weekly Torah portion (, ''parashah'') in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading and the ninth in the book of Leviticus. It constitutes The parashah is the shortest of the weekly Torah portions in the book of Leviticus (although not the shortest in the Torah), and is made up of 2,817 Hebrew letters, 737 Hebrew words, and 57 verses, and can occupy about 99 lines in a Torah Scroll (, ''Sefer Torah'').〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=July 7, 2013 )〕 Jews generally read it in May. The lunisolar Hebrew calendar contains up to 55 weeks, the exact number varying between 50 in common years and 54 or 55 in leap years. In leap years (for example, 2016, 2019, 2022, 2024, and 2027), parashah Behar is read separately. In common years (for example, 2017, 2020, 2021, 2023, 2025, and 2026), parashah Behar is combined with the next parashah, Bechukotai, to help achieve the needed number of weekly readings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=May 4, 2015 )〕 In years when the first day of Passover falls on a Sabbath (as it does in 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, and 2022), Jews in Israel and Reform Jews read the parashah following Passover one week before Conservative and Orthodox Jews in the Diaspora. In such years, Jews in Israel and Reform Jews celebrate Passover for seven days and thus read the next parashah (in 2015 and 2018, Shemini) on the Sabbath one week after the first day of Passover, while Conservative and Orthodox Jews in the Diaspora celebrate Passover for eight days and read the next parashah (in 2015 and 2018, Shemini) one week later. In some such years (for example, 2015 and 2018), the two calendars realign when Conservative and Orthodox Jews in the Diaspora read Behar together with Bechukotai while Jews in Israel and Reform Jews read them separately.〔See (Hebcal Jewish Calendar ) and compare results for Israel and the Diaspora.〕 The parashah tells the laws of the Sabbatical year (, ''Shmita'') and limits on debt servitude. ==Readings== In traditional Sabbath Torah reading, the parashah is divided into seven readings, or , ''aliyot''.〔See, e.g., ''The Schottenstein Edition Interlinear Chumash: Vayikra/Leviticus''.
