Parashat Emor 2015/5775 (Triennial II) — Shabbat Appears Everywhere

Parashat Emor 2015/5775 (Triennial II) -- Shabbat Appears Everywhere Shabbat (the day of rest) is mentioned countless times in the Torah, including in this week's Torah portion of Emor (Leviticus 23:3). Why does this command appear so many different times? Isn't once enough? Today we will explore a number of places in which the Torah commands the Israelites to observe Shabbat. We will try to glean meaning from each instance using the interpretive principle of "smikhut parshiyot" (סמיכות פרשיות), which teaches us that the meaning of a text can be gleaned by understanding the context in which it is written. Please join us for this interesting class on the meanings of Shabbat!

Parashat Emor (אמור) — A Disabled Priest?

Parashat Emor Triennial I (2014/5774) -- A Disabled Priest? This week's Torah portion, Parashat Emor, we learn that any priest who has a "defect" is not allowed to participate in the sacrificial offerings (Lev 21:17). Can we learn anything from this verse on the Torah's treatment of people with disabilities, including how they can participate in our communities? Join us for this important conversation!

Parashat Emor (אמור) — In or Out?

2013/5773 (Triennial III) -- In or Out? In the last section of this week's Torah portion we learn about a fight between an Israelite and the son of an Israelite woman who also happens to be the son of an Egyptian man. Their fight begs the question: Who is considered an Israelite? Who's in the clan and who's out? Join the conversation as we discuss these questions of self and group identity that appear in our Torah portion; questions that are just as relevant today as we look to build our community with people from a diverse range of backgrounds.
