Welcome to Shemini (Eighth), this week’s Parasha (Torah portion).
Because this weekend is Shabbat Parah (Sabbath of the Red Heifer),
a special maftir (Numbers 19:1–22) is added. That maftir speaks of the
Parah Adumah, the Red Heifer. As well, Parah Haftarah promises to
cleanse the Jewish People and return them all to the Land of Israel.
These portions will be read in synagogues around the world during
this week’s Shabbat (Saturday) service. We know you will be blessed
as you study this Torah portion with us. Enjoy !
Last week in Parasha Tzav, God instructed Moses to command Aaron and
his sons in how to prepare for their duties and rights as kohanim (priests).
For seven days, Aaron and his sons stayed at the Tent of Meeting as part
of their ordination process. On the eighth day, Moses called for them to
begin presenting the offerings (קָרְבֳּנוֹת, korbanot) to the Lord. These
offerings were given as a kind of “welcoming ceremony” to greet the
arrival of God’s Shekhinah (Glory or Divine Presence)

Weekly Torah Portion: Shemini
When "the glory of HaShem appeared to" Israel "and all the people saw, sang praises, and fell upon their faces,"
they sang in one perfectly pitched, harmonious voice. How do we recreate that moment?
How do we stay in tune with G-d, with our own true selves, day after day?
Parashat Shemini gives us the answer !

Parshat Shemini
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.. [...]

The Portion of Shemini
Weekly Torah Portion: Tragedy Strikes
At the height of the celebrations of the first day of the Tabernacle service, Aaron’s two older sons, Nadab and Abihu, take it upon themselves to offer incense that is not part of the commanded service. God sends out a fire from before Him and consumes their souls. Moses offers comfort to his bereaved brother, but Aaron remains silent. The Israel Bible explains Nadab and Abihu’s actions. Moved by the closeness they felt to God during the inauguration of the Tabernacle, they wish to get even closer to Him by bringing an offer in the Holy of Holies. It was not commanded, however, despite their good intentions, and therefore they were punished. This is the meaning behind Moses’s words to Aaron: “I will be sanctified through those who are nearest to me.” Through the deaths of Nadab and Abihu, who were immeasurably close to God at the time, the Children of Israel learned that God’s rules must be upheld, even by those who are powerful.

Why Pope Francis shouldn’t have washed and kissed the feet of Muslim migrants
by Robert Spencer
“When the Pope kneels before a Muslim, these are the thoughts that will come into the minds of many followers of Islam.

The Jewish people (the People of the Book)
gave the world the BIBLE. Today there are about 14 million
Jewish people in the world though most have never studied
the Messianic Prophecies. Finally, for the first time, there will
be a Hebrew Messianic Prophecy Bible, based on the
Ancient Dead Sea Scrolls and Masoretic texts translated
into hundreds of languages, exposing the true meanings.
Many have falsely said that God is finished with His Chosen People; however, Bible prophecy clearly states that this will never be so. In fact, in these Last Days, God is moving among His people to physically and spiritually restore them.

This week’s Parasha study is called Shemini (Shmini or Sh’mini),
which means eighth.
The name arises from the opening verse:
“On the eighth [shemini]
day Moses summoned Aaron and his sons and the elders of
Israel.” (Leviticus 9:1)
Last week in Parasha Tzav, God instructed Moses to
command Aaron and his sons in how to prepare for their
duties and rights as kohanim (priests).
For seven days, Aaron and his sons stayed at the Tent of
Meeting as part of their ordination process. On the
eighth day, Moses called for them to begin presenting the
offerings (קָרְבֳּנוֹת,
korbanot) to the Lord.
These offerings were given as a kind of “welcoming ceremony” to
greet the arrival of God’s Shekhinah
(Glory or Divine Presence):
(Glory or Divine Presence):
“Then Moses said, ‘This is
what the LORD has commanded you to do, so that the glory
of the LORD may appear to you.’”
(Leviticus 9:6)
(Leviticus 9:6)
It took a full seven days of preparation before they
could begin this new and holy function as priests who serve
Adonai in the Mishkan (Tabernacle), where the Glory of the
Lord came to reside.
"Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD
filled the Tabernacle." (Exodus 40:34) (Image from page 10 of the 1874
Jewish Tabernacle and Priesthood)
New Beginnings
Start with “Eight”
While the number seven represents completion
(such as God’s creation of the universe), the number
eight often represents new beginnings:
- On the seventh day, God rested and blessed it, declaring it as a set-apart, holy day of rest. On the eighth day, however, work resumed once more — only this time, human beings began stewardship of God’s creation by tending and caring for the Garden of Eden.
- The eighth day is, therefore, a type of anniversary of the Creation.
- Eight souls were saved during the Mabul HaGadol (Great Flood).
- The eighth day is considered a day of covenant (brit), for it is on this day that every Jewish male infant is to be brought into covenant with the Almighty God through the rite of circumcision (called Brit Milah in Hebrew).
- David was the eighth son of Jesse and Israel’s first great king from whose lineage HaMashiach (the Messiah) would come.
- On the eighth day (first day of the week), Yeshua (Jesus) rose from the grave and became the bikkurim (firstfruits) of all those who will be resurrected on the last day.
Other occurrences of eight include the following:
- There were eight spices of incense. As well, the Cohen HaGadol (High Priest) had eight articles of clothing.
- Often the weeklong festivals of Passover and Sukkot are given an additional eighth day of celebration, such as Acharon shel Pesach (Final Day of Passover) and Shemini Atzeret (Eighth Day of Assembly) on Sukkot (Tabernacles).

The Beginning of
the Year
Coming into active service in the Mishkan on the
eighth day was not the only indication of new beginnings
in this Parasha.
The consecration of Aaron and his sons, as
well as the desert Tabernacle, took place exactly one
year after the Exodus from Egypt, in Nisan —
the first month.
Nisan is the beginning of spring, when the rainy
season comes to an end, the fruit trees begin to blossom,
and the fields are carpeted in wildflowers.
The Hebrew word for spring
is aviv.
This word can be divided into two parts: av, which
means father; and iv, which
has a numerical representation of 12. Thus, aviv (spring)
is seen as the
father of the twelve months of the year.
father of the twelve months of the year.
Passover, which
occurs in this first month of Nisan, is the symbolic
“father” of the twelve tribes of Israel as a new
nation. (Joe Bobker, Torah with a
Twist of Humor, p. 231)
Therefore, the entire Hebrew calendar has a spiritual
connection to the formation of the twelve Hebrew tribes,
and the service of the priests represents a new beginning
for all of Israel.
Lederman Synagogue in Bnei Brak, Israel
The Beginning of
Wisdom
On the eighth day, the preparations for God’s glorious
entry into the Mishkan
(Tabernacle) were over, and Aaron and
his sons began their priestly ministry. (Leviticus
9:1)
But something went terribly wrong!
Nadab and Abihu, Aaron’s two eldest sons
perished in the blink of an eye — devoured by the
consuming fire of God’s wrath. Why? The Torah
says they offered “strange fire,” which God had not
commanded.
“Aaron’s sons Nadab and
Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added
incense; and they offered strange fire [zarah] before
the LORD, contrary to His command. So fire came out
from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and
they died before the LORD.” (Leviticus 10:1–2)
The Hebrew word zarah
(זָרָה) carries the connotation of
being foreign or another kind.
What was Aaron’s
response to such a disturbing family tragedy?
Silence. (Leviticus 10:3)
Nadab and Abihu Destroyed (Phillip Medhurst Bible Pictures)
There is a well-known saying that “silence is golden”
and Aaron's response to this tragedy is perhaps an example
of this. At a time of great grief, Aaron
remained silent rather than speak out in angry
accusation against God.
When we go through painful trials in life or when
tragedy strikes unexpectedly — whether illness, accident
or even death — one of the best
initial strategies may be to keep our mouths closed
until we have control over what we will say.
Solomon, in all of his wisdom, penned the verse: “Even a fool, when he keeps
silent, is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he
is considered prudent.” (Proverbs 17:28)
We see this truth with Job’s friends.
After witnessing his terrible situation, they just sat
beside him in silence. It is probably the best thing
because when they finally opened their mouths to speak,
foolish accusations poured forth.
Job Rebuked by His Friends, by William Blake
Although it is not clear the exact nature of
Nadab and Abihu’s sin, God’s command soon after their
death may suggest that they went into the Tent of
Meeting in an inebriated state.
Just a few verses later, God tells Aaron, “You and your sons are not to
drink wine or other fermented drink whenever you go into
the Tent of Meeting, or you will die. This is a lasting
ordinance for the generations to come.” (Leviticus
10:8–9)
Although the Bible permits the drinking of wine and
alcohol in moderation, it has no place among those in
position of spiritual leadership while they are actively
serving the Lord. Alcohol can dull one’s senses and
prevent a person from distinguishing between right and
wrong, clean and unclean — one of the specified functions
of the priesthood.
Just as it is unwise to “drink and drive,” it can be
equally dangerous in a spiritual sense to “drink and serve
the Lord.”
In any event, it is evident that these sons of Aaron were
careless in the face of God’s holiness.
Torah scroll in Budapest (photo by ParisSharing)
The Fear of
the Lord
Some think that God’s wrath for disregarding His
holiness is limited to the Old Testament God of “law and
justice.” They think that under the Brit Chadashah (New
Testament), we are “under grace” and,
therefore, immune to God’s judgment.
However, the account of Ananias and Sapphira reveals
that
this is a fallacy.
this is a fallacy.
This New Covenant couple brought an offering to the
apostles in Jerusalem, and lied to the Ruach HaKodesh
(Holy Spirit) about how much money they received for the
sale of their property.
“Now a man named
Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a
piece of property. With his wife’s full knowledge he
kept back part of the money for himself, but brought
the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.” (Acts
5:1–2)
For lying to God, both Ananias and Sapphira were
struck dead. (Acts 5:4–11)
Although God is merciful, patient, compassionate,
and slow to anger, we must not take these qualities for
granted, nor test the Lord our God by treating His
holiness carelessly.
God is equally just and holy. For this reason He is
called a “Consuming Fire” throughout the Tanakh and Brit
Chadashah (New Testament).
May we all
walk in a healthy fear of the Lord, which will keep
us on the narrow road that leads to life.
“The fear of the Lord
is the beginning of wisdom.” (Proverbs 9:10)
Jewish men pray at the Western Wall (photo by Israel Tourism)
Shabbat Parah:
the Sabbath of the Red Heifer
“Then the LORD spoke
to Moses and Aaron, saying, ‘This is the statute of
the law which the LORD has commanded, saying, “Speak
to the sons of Israel that they bring you an
unblemished red heifer [parah adumah] in which is no
defect and on which a yoke has never been placed. You
shall give it to Eleazar the priest, and it shall be
brought outside the camp and be slaughtered in his
presence.”’” (Numbers 19:1–3)
In preparation for Passover, a special
portion of Scripture from Numbers 19:1–22 is added
today.
It describes the sacrifice of the Parah Adumah (Red
Heifer).
This Sabbath, therefore, is called Shabbat Parah (Sabbath
of the Red Heifer). Shabbat Parah always
occurs on the Sabbath after Purim and begins the formal
preparations of the Passover (which falls Nissan 15–22
on the Jewish calendar,
which is April 23–April 30 this year).
which is April 23–April 30 this year).
A family enjoys a Passover seder, the ritual meal in which the Passover
story is recounted.
The Red Heifer sacrifice is an essential part of the
Temple services.
Through it the Jewish priests
(kohanim) and the Jewish
People purify themselves before the festival of
Passover. The Red Heifer brings about the
ritual purity (tahor)
necessary for sacrificing the Paschal lamb.
Anyone who had been defiled through contact with the
dead and had not been cleansed with the sprinkling of
the waters of purification containing the ashes of the
Red Heifer would be disqualified from celebrating the
Passover and cut off from the community of Israel:
“But the man who is unclean and
does not purify himself from uncleanness, that person
shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly,
because he has defiled the sanctuary of the LORD; the
water for impurity has not been sprinkled on him, he
is unclean.” (Numbers 19:20)
One of the
great enigmas of this ceremony is that while these
waters of purification make the defiled person
clean, the one performing the ritual becomes unclean
until evening.
We can understand this irony by comparing it to
cleaning a dirty house — the house becomes clean, but
the once clean rag or sponge becomes dirty as, perhaps,
the person doing the cleaning does as well.
In the above photo, metal vessels are being prepared for Passover
through a 30-second koshering procedure called hagalah (purging).
The rabbis consider the ritual of the
sacrificial Red Heifer to be one of Judaism’s greatest
mysteries; even so, the Brit Chadashah gives
us great insight into it.
The book of Hebrews refers to this special ritual
when explaining how we are cleansed (not just outwardly
but to the depth of our inner being) through the blood
of Yeshua the Messiah.
“The blood of goats and
bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those
who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them
so that they are outwardly clean. How much more,
then, will the blood of the Messiah, who through the
eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God,
cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death,
so that we may serve the Living God!” (Hebrews
9:13–14)
The Messiah,
who was totally clean and pure of all sin, took our
sins and impurities upon Himself so that we may
become the righteousness of God in Him.
(2 Corinthians 5:21)
Though our sins may have made our souls look like
scarlet, they will become white as snow, as the Hebrew
Prophet Isaiah prophesied thousands of years ago:
"'Come now, let us
settle the matter,’ says the LORD. ‘Though your sins
are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson, they shall be like
wool.’” (Isaiah 1:18)
God is gracious in extending to us a new beginning,
and in these last days He is extending a new beginning
to the Jewish People. You can be part of His end-time
move among His people by helping us bring the
Good News of Yeshua to the Holy Land.

The Jewish people (the People of the Book)
gave the world the BIBLE. Today there are about 14 million
Jewish people in the world though most have never studied
the Messianic Prophecies. Finally, for the first time, there will
be a Hebrew Messianic Prophecy Bible, based on the
Ancient Dead Sea Scrolls and Masoretic texts translated
into hundreds of languages, exposing the true meanings.
Many have falsely said that God is finished with His Chosen People; however, Bible prophecy clearly states that this will never be so. In fact, in these Last Days, God is moving among His people to physically and spiritually restore them.
