Acharei Mot and Kedoshim Shabbat Times in London Shabbat Begins: 8.09Pm Shabbat Ends: 9.19Pm The Tribe Weekly Newsletter This week’s parashot are Acharei Mot and Kedoshim Shabbat Times in London Shabbat begins: 8.09pm Shabbat ends: 9.19pm This week, there are once again two Parashot; Acharei Mot and Kedoshim. Following the deaths of Nadav and Avihu, two of Aharon’s (Aaron’s) four sons, God told Aharon (Aaron) that only a Kohen Gadol (High Priest) would be allowed to enter the Kodesh Kodashim (The Holy of Holies) in the Mishkan (Tabernacle) and only on Yom Kippur. The Kodesh Kodashim (The Holy of Holies) was the holiest part of the Mishkan which housed the Ark. The Parasha (Weekly Torah Portion) of Acharei Mot continues to focus on the day of Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement) and describes the service of the casting of lots over two goats. The lots determined which goat should be offered to God and which should be taken out to the wilderness, to carry away the sins of the Children of Israel. Acharei Mot also tells the Jewish people to only bring an offering in the Holy Temple. It also makes clear that blood is forbidden to be eaten. The Parshah of Kedoshim lists dozens of Mitzvot (Commands) through which a Jewish man or woman can make themselves holy and can therefore appreciate the holiness of God. These Mitzvot (Commands) include not worshipping idols, the giving of charity, Shabbat, honesty in business, looking up to one’s parents and the holiness of life itself. One of the most famous Mitzvot (Commands) in Kedoshim is to; ‘Love Your Fellow as Yourself’. The great sage, Rabbi Akiva said that this is the most important rule of the Torah and he had to remind his students to not only respect each other, but to also respect each other’s points of view.

When a homeless man walked into Cesia Abigail Restaurant, in America, asking for money, the owner refused to give him any. Now you might think this is heartless, but in fact, Cesia had something better in mind! She asked the homeless man why he didn’t have a job, to which he responded that his past was preventing him from changing his future. “Well, I have done a lot of things I shouldn’t have done in the past and no one wants to employ me because of that. So now I had to turn myself to the streets and get money the only way I know, begging, stealing and asking for money.” Instead of giving him money, Cesia gave him a job!! Story 2 – The Waiter Never Saw it Coming! When a restaurant customer noticed his waiter, named Johnny, was having a particularly difficult day, he responded in a way that most wouldn’t. Rather than calling over a manager or leaving Johnny some small, measly tip to prove a point, the diner summoned his waiter over to the table and gave him a £100! “You just paid off my car sir,” said the grateful young man as he stood there weeping in shock!

  • Parshat Mishpatim 5773
    Written by: Ruth Michaels Editor: David Michaels Parshat Acharey Mot-Kedoshim 5778 At the beginning of this parsha verse 2 states, “Speak to all the congregation of the to cleave to him (u'ldavkah bo). 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.

  • TORAH INSIGHTS for a MODERN AGE by DAVID ROTENBERG
    TORAH INSIGHTS FOR A MODERN AGE By DAVID ROTENBERG Integrated Studies Final Project Essay (MAIS 700) submitted to Dr. Mike Gismondi in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts – Integrated Studies Athabasca, Alberta August, 2013 Table of Contents Abstract ………………………………………………………………………….. 3 Introduction ……………………………………………………………………... 5 Essay One: Joseph vs. George – A Modern Look at Faith ………………….. 11 Essay Two: What’s in a Name? ……………………………………………….. 18 Essay Three: Talk to Strangers ………………………………………………... 23 Conclusion ……………………………………………………………………… 29 References ………………………………………………………………………. 34 2 ABSTRACT Today’s Jewish community features very different demographics from previous generations’ due to large sections of the population being unaffiliated, non-observant, or “Modern Orthodox”. As a result, any efforts to reconnect the unaffiliated and/or reach these other segments of the community for spiritual direction and Torah education must be targeted in new strategic ways. This project employs both the scriptural and comedic knowledge of its author, Rabbi David Rotenberg, a semi-professional stand-up comic, to develop contemporary Torah insights targeted at a modern audience. The project focuses on lessons applicable to three of the 54 weekly portions of the Chumash (Five Books of Moses), Vayigash, Kedoshim, and Emor, each developed as an independent essay, although numerous additional relevant sources are also discussed. Each essay establishes an accepted understanding of the relevant Torah concepts, rooted in the text and traditional commentaries. This conventional thinking is then challenged with original questions, and comedic sources are introduced as a form of unorthodox commentary. The essays conclude by demonstrating a connection and revealing the newly-inspired message. 3 Through the substantive content yielded by the integration of humour sources with Biblical content, the original query – whether new Torah insights could be developed to appeal to a modern audience – can be answered in the affirmative.

  • 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.

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.

  • Kedoshim Vayikra (Leviticus) 19:1 - 20:27
    Kedoshim VaYikra (Leviticus) 19:1 - 20:27 Parsha Kedoshim continues the transition that we have followed in this section of the book of VaYikra, from a work primarily directed toward the Kohanim, to one intended for the ordinary Israelite. The people of Israel were to be holy, because G-d is holy. That is the reason and the justification for a series of ethical, ritual and religious rules that comprise this and the following parshiyot in YaYikra. Whereas we might distinguish between the different types of Mitzvot, in Judaism they are all equal, and all equally binding. The people are to observe the commandments and the laws of the sacrifices. They are to provide for the poor and the stranger; leaving the edges of the fields unharvested and the fallen fruits of their vineyards ungleaned, so that the needy could come and gather food. One of the best-known and most beloved verses in the Torah is found in Kedoshim. “V’Ahavta L’rayecha Kamocha …You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (19:18). According to Rabbi Akiba, one of the greatest Rabbis of the period of the Mishnah, this is the greatest teaching in the entire Torah. Indeed, the idea that we all have responsibilities to all people, and the idea that there can be no service to G-d while simultaneously practicing cruelty to others, is one of Judaism’s greatest gifts to the world. Kedoshim warns against insulting the deaf or placing a stumbling block before the blind. Respect and deference must be shown for the elderly.
