Upcoming!
We hope you enjoyed Pesach and your Seders. Unfortunately over Pesach at a time when Jews around the world were celebrating freedom, terrorists carried out two deadly attacks in Israel killing four people and wounding at least six. A UN human rights official, Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese said that Israel does not have the right to self defense against Palestinians following the two deadly attacks and volleys of rocket fire against Israel. Next week we will be commemorating Yom Hashoah and the following week commemorating Yom Hazikaron and finally celebrating Yom Ha'atzmaut. Now more than ever, regardless of Political leanings, Jews around the world need to unite to fight the scourge of anti-semitism and terrorism. We continue to hope and pray, that the almighty protects Israel and her defenders and blesses all of Am Yisrael with safety, peace and tranquility.

Parashat Shemini in a NutshellLeviticus 9:1–11:47The name of the Parshah, “Shemini,” means “eighth” and it is found in Leviticus 9:1. On the eighth day, following the seven days of their 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.” © Copyright, all rights reserved.
