Sh’mini (Leviticus 9:1-11:47)
This Week’s Torah Portion: Sh’mini – שְׁמִינִי (Leviticus 9:1-11:47)
This is the greatest day possible; we are dedicating the Sanctuary, Adonai our God will now dwell amongst us!
The first verse reads “On the 8th day”, we count the days of the week in Hebrew by numbers, as we all know, there are only 7 days in a week. So what is the 8th day?
Spiritual events in our lives occur on the 8th day, the day beyond nature. Like the covenant of the new born child.
