Emor – אֱמֹר (Leviticus 21:1−24:23)

May 13, 2022/in Torah Tidbit

This Week’s Torah Portion: Emor – אֱמֹר (Leviticus 21:1−24:23)

Emor is about the laws of the priests. The priests who serve Adonai, our God, can not become impure by having contact with death, and they are not allowed to drink wine or Alcohol while serving God.

Judaism is about life and the sacredness of life, here and now. Our tradition teaches us that connecting with God and spiritual life should be achieved in the real world, not by avoiding life but in reality and daily life.

Parsha Emor – אֱמֹר Torah Summary:

Laws regulating the lives and sacrifices of the priests are presented. (21:1-22:33) The set times of the Jewish calendar are named and described: the Sabbath, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and the Pilgrimage Festivals of Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot. (23:1-44) God commands the Israelites to bring clear olive oil for lighting the sanctuary menorah. The ingredients and placement of the displayed loaves of sanctuary bread are explained. (24:1-9) Laws dealing with profanity, murder, and the maiming of others are outlined. (24:10-23) Emor – אֱמֹר Emor is about the laws of the priests.

This Week’s Torah Portion: Emor – אֱמֹר (Leviticus 21:1−24:23)

“…you shall have one law (one standard) for stranger and citizen alike; I am Adonai your God”

Wow, 4000 years, give or take, have passed, and we are still struggling to keep God’s commandment, treating the stranger in our midst equally, having the same set of laws and same standards to all humans.

Emor (Leviticus 21:1−24:23)

May 8, 2020/in Torah Tidbit

This Week’s Torah Portion: Emor (Leviticus 21:1−24:23)

Adonai said to Moses, “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘These are my appointed festivals, the appointed festivals of Adonai, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies” (Leviticus 23:1-2).

Adonai our God commands us to celebrate and proclaim the Holidays,

The Holidays belong to Adonai, proclaiming them and celebrating them is our job!

This is a true partnership between us and the Divine. God entrusted us with sacred times and seasons, making the Shabbat sacred, celebrating the holidays, is our way to connect with the Divine.

Emor (Leviticus 21:1-24:23)

May 17, 2019/in Torah Tidbit

This Week’s Torah Portion: Emor (Leviticus 21:1-24:23)

Do. Say. Stand.

Last week’s Torah Portion is called Kedoshim, “Holiness”, and it is all about what we can do to be holy. This week’s portion is called Emor, “Say”, and it teaches a lesson on how the words we say matter. Next week’s portion is called Behar, “At the Mountain”, which reminds us of where we stood when first we heard God’s call.

Do. Say. Stand.

Together these three words form a simple but eloquent sermon on living a life of blessing. Do the right things. Say the right words. Stand for righteousness in this world.

Do. Say. Stand.

“And you shall be a blessing.” Amen.
