Emor (Leviticus 21:1-24:23)
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.
