Temple Emanuel Weekly Announcements - April 13, 2007

Friday, April 13, 2007 – 26 Nisan 5767

Shemini - Leviticus 9:1-11:47

This week's parasha begins on the eighth day (hayom ha'Shemini) of the ordination ceremonies of the kohanim. Moses tells Aaron exactly how to make certain sacrificial offerings so that the Presence of God will appear that day. The parasha also deals with the laws of kashrut, describing the animals, birds, fish and insects that may and may not be eaten (kosher means "proper or fit").
