  • Emor Kohanim – Agents of God Or Man?
    Emor Kohanim – Agents of God or Man? -Rabbi Moshe Pinchuk- Parahsat Emor is rife with questions. The Talmud lists eight passages that were related to Moshe upon the consecration of the Tabernacle, on the first of the month of Nissan. The appropriate place for these passages is in the parasha of Shemini, which opens with the dedication of the Tabernacle: “Eight sections were given forth on the day on which the Tabernacle was set up. They are: the section of the priests, the section of the Levites, the section of the ritually unclean, the section of the sending of the ritually unclean [out of the camp], the section commencing ‘After the death’…” Several of these passages are set forth in this week’s parasha, Emor: A. The section of the priests (kohanim): Rashi makes the following comment: “The section of the priests – “Speak to the kohanim,” which contains the laws of the kohanim. Because these laws were required that day in order for the kohanim to work in the Tabernacle, it was necessary for Hashem to convey them at that time.” According to Rashi, the “section of the priests” mentioned in the Talmud is the passage comprised of the first several verses of Parashat Emor. These verses set forth prohibitions relating to priestly ritual uncleanliness and marriage, as well as physical defects that disqualify a priest from working in the Tabernacle and the Temple. Why was this passage relocated from the parasha of Shemini to the beginning of Emor? B. The section of the ritually unclean: This section is identified as the passage beginning with the words “that they shall separate themselves from the holy [sacrifices] of the children of Israel.” This passage sets forth the laws of ritual cleanliness that pertain to the consumption of terumah (priestly contributions) and kodashim (holy sacrifices).

Moreover we are duty bound to do all that is good and children of Israel and say to them: holy shall you be... ". Rav Shimshon Refuel Hirsch perfect ...simply because G-d commanded us to do so." comments that only at the giving of the very first Law which Israel received, the command of the Pesach offering, do we find the order written in similar terms ,to He continues to ask " Why does the Torah say Kedoshim T'hihyu?" “You should be announce the Law to the whole community. The reason for this is because this holy...”. He answers that one should not think that kedoshim t'hihyu refers solely to admonition, "holy shall you be “ refers to the highest degree of moral human perfection forbidden sexual relations due to its juxtaposition to the laws at the end of Acharei Mot and every individual needs to be included in this call to very height of absolute morality. but this phrase refers to each of the Ten Utterances, This means the Jewish people should be holy and sanctify themselves in all matters. Rabbi M Miller suggests that Moshe had to speak to the whole congregation, to each one individually, because in the question of self restraint even from pleasures generally The parsha of Kedoshim follows the sedras from Vaiyikra to Acharei Mot. What is the permitted, each individual must know his own nature...detect in himself the inclinations significance of this order? According to Rav Shimshon Refuel Hirsch, the morality is that threaten to degrade him and exercise on himself those restraints that will restore learned from G-d’s word which rests beneath the wings of the keruvim.

  • PARASHAT SHEMINI the Sin of Nadav and Avihu and the Animals
    PARASHAT SHEMINI The Sin of Nadav and Avihu and the Animals Prohibited for Consumption By Rav Amnon Bazak A. The Problem In the aftermath of the tragic death of Nadav and Avihu, the Torah suddenly interrupts the narrative with a command highlighting an additional function of the kohanim: And to distinguish between the holy and the profane, and between the impure and the pure; and to instruct Bnei Yisrael concerning all of the statutes which God spoke to them at the hand of Moshe. (10:10-11) These verses set forth the framework for the chapters that follow in chiastic order. First, the Torah discusses the differences between the impure and the pure, in terms of the types of animals that may be eaten and those that may not (chapter 11), and the various types of impurity and purity (Parashot Acharei Mot, Tazri'a, and Metzora); thereafter, it addresses the differences between the holy and the profane (Parashot Kedoshim andEmor). What do these categories and the differentiation between them have to do with the sin of Nadav and Avihu? Why are the kohanim given the new job of differentiating between the holy and profane and between the impure and the pure specifically here, in the midst of the events of the "eighth day"? In order to answer this question, let us examine the animals forbidden as food as listed in chapter 11. We will find two groups of prohibitions in this chapter, and we will discuss the connection between them and the story of the death of Nadav and Avihu.

  • Shauni: ​This Week's Torah Portion Is ​Parashat Emor​. We Will Be
    May 3, 2018 Parashat Emor https://www.sefaria.org/Leviticus.21.1-15?lang=bi&aliyot=1 http://mirowitztorahreading.weebly.com/emor.html Ezra Ezra ben Yehoshu’a Asher v’Temima Fayga Shauni Chana Lilah bat Kalanit v’Warren Annika Chanukkah bat Miriam v’Yosef Abigail Yosef bat Laura v’Steven Omri Omri ben Eli-Mordecai v’Osnat Shauni: This week’s Torah portion is Parashat Emor. We will be reading ​ ​ ​ from Sefer Vayikra, the Book of Leviticus, Chapter 21, Verses 1-3. Emor ​ ​ ​ means “speak.” G-d tells Moshe to speak to the kohanim, the priests, about ​ ​ what they should do to be extra holy in order to serve in the Temple. Parashat Emor also tells us about the special holidays of the Jewish calendar, ​ which make time holy throughout the year. The holy days connect us with our people, the land, the seasons, and with God. The first holy day mentioned is Shabbat, the day of rest. Omri: Then come Pesach and Shavuot, followed by the fall holidays: Rosh ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot. Parashat Emor also includes the mitzvah ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ of counting the omer. All of us are commanded to count the omer. All year long, the Kohanim at our Holy Temple, offered wheat to God. In a ceremony from Pesach until Shavuot, barley was added, and the Kohanim ​ counted on behalf of the Jewish People. These days we do the counting for ourselves. We count from the second day of Passover until just before Shavuot. That’s 7 weeks of 7 days - 7 weeks x 7 days equals 49 days! The 50th day is Shavuot.

  • Vayikra (Leviticus) 21:1-24:23 Parshat Emor Continues the Description Of
    Emor VaYikra (Leviticus) 21:1-24:23 Parshat Emor continues the description of the special rules and observances of the Kohanim. The priests are to avoid coming into contact with a corpse, and are not to shave smooth any parts of their heads. They are forbidden to marry a divorced woman, and must always be scrupulous in carrying out their duties. Moses speaks to all the people about the holidays, this being one of several calendars of holidays found in the Torah. Apart from the Shabbat, the Jewish people are to observe Passover, and seven weeks later, Shavuot, a celebration of the harvest. On the first day of the seventh month (Tishrei), the people are to mark a “sacred occasion with loud blasts”, which we, of course, recognize as Rosh Hashanah and the sounds of the Shofar. The tenth day of the same month, Tishrei, is to be a Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. Sukkot, celebrated on the fifteenth day of Tishrei, follows Yom Kippur by 5 days, and is observed for seven days. The people are to mark the eighth day, the day after Sukkot, as Shimini Atzeret, with a special sacrifice. On all of these holidays, we are told to refrain from work. The portion concludes with the description of an incident in which a man born of an Israelite woman and an Egyptian man fights with a man born of two Israelite parents. The half-Israelite blasphemes G-d’s name in the course of the fight. G-d tells Moses that the man is to be stoned to death as punishment.

  • Acharei Mot (After the Death)
    An Introduction to the Parashat HaShavuah (Weekly Torah Portion) Understanding the Torah From a Thematic Perspective Acharei Mot (After the Death) By Tony Robinson Copyright © 2003 (5764) by Tony Robinson, Restoration of Torah Ministries. All rights reserved. —The Family House of Study— Examining the Parashat HaShavuah by Thematic Analysis Welcome to Mishpachah Beit Midrash, the Family House of Study. Each Shabbat1 we gather in our home and study the Scriptures, specifically the Torah.2 It’s a fun time of receiving revelation from the Ruach HaKodesh3. Everyone joins in—adults and children—as we follow the Parashat HaShavuah4 schedule. We devote ourselves to studying the Torah because the Torah is the foundation for all of Scripture. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the Torah will help us more fully understand the rest of the Tanakh5 and the Brit Chadasha.6 Furthermore, as Yeshua stated Himself, the Torah teaches about Him. So we study the Torah in order to be drawn closer to Yeshua, the goal of the Torah. As believers in the Messiah we have discovered the richness of the wisdom of the sages of Israel. These men, who devoted themselves to the study of the Torah, have left us a rich heritage. Part of that heritage is a unique method of learning and interpreting the Scriptures. It’s called thematic analysis. In thematic analysis we search for the underlying theme/topic of each passage of Scripture. By studying Scriptures related by a common theme, line upon line and precept upon precept, the Scriptures open up to us in a unique manner that is clearly inspired by the Ruach HaKodesh.

  • Parshat Emor
    Parshat Emor 13 Iyar 5776 /May 21, 2016 Daf Yomi: Kiddushin 71; Nach Yomi: Isaiah 10 Weekly Dvar Torah A project of the NATIONAL COUNCIL OF YOUNG ISRAEL SPONSORED BY THE HENRY, BERTHA AND EDWARD ROTHMAN FOUNDATION ROCHESTER, NY,CLEVELAND, OHIO, CIRCLEVILLE, OHIO Parashat ha-Moadim Rabbi Chaim Wasserman Rabbi Emeritus, Young Israel of Passaic-Clifton, NJ In Parashat Emor, there contains a section, parashat ha-moadim, (Emor 23:1-43) in which the Torah lists all five Holy Days. It begins as follows: “These are the appointed seasons you must celebrate as sacred holidays to G-d: Six days (Pesach 2 days; Shavuot 1 day; Rosh haShanah 1 day; Sukkot 2 days) there shall be no work done (except for what is permitted to be done elsewhere). But on one day it shall be observed as a day of solemn rest (shabbat shabbaton). The inclusion of Shabbat in such a list is problematic. The sanctity of Shabbat derives from the creation of the world, not from the kedushat hazmanim, the sanctity of seasons the Torah gave to the Jews to determine for themselves. Rashi (1040-1105) is sensitive to the problem and quotes midrash Torat Kohanim: “Why is Shabbat listed here with all of the other moadim? This is to indicate that one who observes the moadim properly is considered as though he has kept every Shabbat, and one who violates the moadim is considered as having violated every Shabbat.” Here the observances of Shabbat and yom tov are equated despite the fact that there are some notable exceptions to that equation allowed by the Torah.

Alternative selections are offered each shabbat: a shorter reading (around twenty verses) and a longer one (around thirty verses). The readings are a guide and congregations may choose to read more or less from within that part of the parashah. On certain special shabbatot, a special second (or exceptionally, third) scroll reading is read in addition to the week’s portion. Haftarah readings are chosen to parallel key elements in the section of the Torah being read and therefore vary from one year in the triennial cycle to the next. Some of the suggested haftarot are from taken from k’tuvim (Writings) rather than n’vi’ivm (Prophets). When this is the case the appropriate, adapted blessings can be found on page 245 of the MRJ siddur, Seder Ha-t’fillot. This calendar follows the Biblical definition of the length of festivals.
