Vayikra: Of Bulls, Lips and Hearts

March 31, 2017

Even though we do not have the ability to bring Korbanos nowadays, Chazal reassure us that if we study the intricate laws, details and inner essence of the Korbanos it will be considered as if we have offered them up. This promise is unique to Korbanos, we do not find that if someone is unable … More Vayikra: Of Bulls, Lips and Hearts

March 24, 2017

Parshas Pekudei opens by referring to the mishkan as the mishkan ha eidus, the tabernacle of testimony, a term that had previously been reserved for the aron.

Teruma – Consecration and Closeness

March 2, 2017

In this week’s sedra we are charged with building a place, a sacred space where Hashem’s presence could be felt and from where it could emanate. This will take us all the way until the end of Sefer Vayikra, with the remaining sedros in Shemos being the instructions of how to build the Mishkan and … More Teruma – Consecration and Closeness
