Emor (Leviticus 21:1−24:23)
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.
