There are two ways to get warm on a cold winter night:
Wrap yourself in furs, which conserves your own warmth but does not generate any heat or warm anyone else.
OR
Build a fire, which warms everyone else as well.

Some people think Judaism is all about tradition. It's not. It's about making a whole new world |

Spirituality
You Have Just Been Created
In point of fact, this moment is the first moment of your life. And as you read these words, G‑d is purposefully bringing your body, your memories, your tendencies, and your circumstances into being |

Afraid? Good!
It was precisely because Aaron did not seek power or prestige that he was chosen to a position of leadership. Now try telling that to our wannabee politicians… |

So, you've got a good lawyer to take care of the estate?" asked Rachel's mother.
"Oy, Mama, don't talk to me about lawyers," said the recent widow angrily. "I've had so much tsores over the property. Sometimes I wish Irving had never died!" |

Parshah

Parshat Shemini
On the eighth day following "seven days of inauguration," Aaron and his sons begin to officiate as Kohanim (priests); a fire issues forth from G-d to consume the offerings on the Altar and the Divine Presence comes to dwell in the Sanctuary.
Aaron's two elder sons, Nadav and Avihu, offer a "strange fire before G-d, which He commanded them not" and die before G-d. Aaron is silent in face of his tragedy. Moses and Aaron subsequently disagree as to a point of law regarding the offerings, but Moses concedes to Aaron that Aaron is in the right.
G-d commands the kosher laws, identifying the animal species permissible and forbidden for consumption. Land animals may be eaten only if they have split hooves and also chew their cud; fish must have fins and scales; a list of non-kosher birds is given, and a list of kosher insects (four types of locusts).
Also in Shemini are some of the laws of ritual purity, including the purifying power of the mikvah (a pool of water meeting specified qualifications) and the wellspring. Thus the people of Israel are enjoined to " differentiate between the impure and the pure."
