Please remember to have your child bring a healthy snack and a water bottle to Hebrew school. We will have snack at the beginning of period 3 at 11:00 am. 

This week’s Torah portion is Parshat Emor. The Torah section of Emor begins with the special laws pertaining to the cohanim,  the cohen gadol (“high priest”), and the Temple service. A cohen may not become ritually impure through contact with a dead body, save on the occasion of the death of a close relative. the Torah then states that a newborn calf, lamb or kid must be left with its mother for seven days before being eligible for an offering; one may not slaughter an animal and its offspring on the same day.

The second part of Emor lists the festivals of the Jewish calendar: the weekly Shabbat; the bringing of the Passover offering on 14 Nissan; the seven-day Passover festival beginning on the 15 th Nissan; the bringing of the Omer offering from the first barley harvest on the second day of Passover, and the commencement, on that day, of the 49-day Counting of the Omer, culminating in the festival of Shavuot on the fiftieth day; a “remembrance of shofer blowing”; a solemn fast day on the 10th of Tishrei; the Sukkot festival—during which we are to dwell in huts for seven days and take the “Four Kinds”; and the immediately following holiday of the “eighth day” of Succot namely Shmini Atzeret. The portion concludes with the lighting of the menorah in the Temple, and the showbread placed weekly on the table there.
