Shabbat Parah - שבת פרה
The Sabbath that immediately follows Purim is called Shabbat Parah - the "Sabbath of the Cow," when the chapter of the parah adumah (פָרָה אֲדֻמָּה), or the "Red Heifer," is read following the regular Torah service (i.e., Num. 19:1-22). The early sages chose this reading for this time of the year because Jews were required to purify themselves before coming to Jerusalem for the pilgrimage festival of Passover.

#ShabbatShalom - Welcome to Shemini (Eighth), this week’s Parasha (Torah portion). This portion of Torah will be read in synagogues around the world during this week’s Shabbat (Saturday) service. We invite you to read it along with us; we know you’ll be blessed!

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. This week’s Parasha study is called Shemini (Shmini or Sh’mini), which means eighth. While the number seven represents completion (such as God’s creation of the universe), the number eight often represents new beginnings. 

You can view this Parasha on our website complete with embedded links ...

Todah Rabah - beloved Rabbi Chaim Richman ... 

Weekly Torah Portion: Shemini 

Parashat Shemini, "And it was on the eighth day... " celebrates the arrival of the Shechinah - the Divine Presence - in the world, as "the glory of HaShem appeared to all the people" and G-d assumed His long desired place in the desert Tabernacle, built, on His instruction, by His people Israel. Following the tragic death of Nadav and Avihu, G-d begins to instruct the people how to bring the kedushah - holiness - that His presence has magnified, into their daily lives. 

Shemini (Leviticus 9:1 - 11:47) Parashat Shemini is read on Shabbat: II Adar 23, 5779 / March 30, 2019

Red Heifer Update! 
Shimini, the Eighth Day: A Celebration of the Divine Presence 

This week's Torah reading of parashat Shimini features the climax of the seven day inauguration ceremony of the desert tabernacle, which took place on 'the eighth day,' Rosh Chodesh Nisan. That is the day that the Shechina, the Divine Presence, rested upon the tabernacle, and also the day of the untimely death of Aaron's sons, Nadav and Avihu. In this week's edition of Temple Talk, Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Chaim Richman ponder the intense experience of the tabernacle's dedication and the manifestation of the Shechina, and the connection between the mistaken approach of Nadav and Avihu. What is the message for our generation? Plus: Does a missile attack on central Israel herald the winds of war in Israel? Tune in to this exciting episode of Temple Talk!

Hillel Richman: The True Location of the Temple Mount: Fully Illustrated 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh5yQiPYuo0 (53:52) The Temple Institute 1/8/19 
Archaeologist Hillel Richman, Senior Researcher and Past Supervisor, Ancient Jerusalem Sifting Project and Temple Mount Sifting Project, refutes the spurious theories claiming that the Temple Mount was in any other place other than Mount Moriah, with an emphasis on the 'City of David' theory, while providing incontrovertible historical and archaeological proof that the Holy Temple was, and will be, located on what is today referred to as the Temple Mount. Hillel's talk is accompanied by more than 100 photos, illustrations and charts. This teaching was recorded on 11/11, 2018, in Lubbock, Texas.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, as Rena will explain, suffering and crisis and tragedy is universal. Adversary punctuates every day of our lives. We cry out "where is G-d?" "Are we beloved?" A study of the lives of our patriarchs and matriarchs, sheds light on the purpose of suffering and the path it can open before us, leading us closer to G-d. This teaching was recorded on 11/11, 2018, in Lubbock, Texas.

Filmed in the Old City of Jerusalem, this ground-breaking documentary investigates the research of renowned Biblical archaeologists, Bob Cornuke, David Sielaff and Earnest L. Martin who claim that Solomon and Herod's Temples never stood on the Haram al Sharif, also known as the Temple Mount. If they are right, then there is nothing to stop the Jewish people building their long awaited for Third Jewish Temple in the actual site where the Temples once stood.

End-of-Days Expert: Disaster Drills, Sign ‘Governments Know Something Big is Coming’
by Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz 

In what may be seen as an ominous case of synchronicity, earthquake and tsunami drills were held all over the world in the last month. This recent wave of disaster preparation drills was brought to the attention of Breaking Israel News by Yuval Ovadia, whose films on Nibiru have garnered hundreds of thousands of views. Ovadia has been tracking such drills and government preparations as part of his research into the subject of the pre-Messiah astronomical event. He claims that governments around the world are running many more drills to prepare for a growing variety of catastrophes.

Voters Get Ready
by Trey Graham  
In Micah 6:8, we read, “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” What would the prophet remind the 6,339,279 eligible voters of various faith traditions as they head to the polls next week? What would  Micah use as his criteria for choosing the next prime minister? As potential voters, those focused on the election and those not so much, consider what they want from the next ruling coalition, let’s examine what the Lord says is good.  As would-be politicians explain their would-be agendas to would-be voters, let’s ponder what the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob says is good.

Todah Rabah - beloved Ted Belman writing from Jerusalem, Israel for 17+ years ...  
THERE IS NO DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION 

INTO THE FRAY: Gaza – Disaster foretold
by Martin Sherman  

What has unfolded in Gaza should not really surprise anyone willing to face up to the inclement realities.
After all, it was not only entirely foreseeable, but easily foreseen.

Distressing record of misjudgment - Indeed, there is a distressing record of documented evidence, underscoring the gross misjudgment of the senior echelons of Israel’s leadership on the “Palestinian” issue, in general, and the Gaza one, in particular. Sadly, time and again, we have elected leaders seemingly willing to jettison every shred of prudence and principle to preserve their positions of power and privilege, even if it meant defending the most absurd policies; even if the ruinous consequences of their actions were not only eminently foreseeable, but explicitly foreseen. 
https://www.israpundit.org/into-the-fray-gaza-disaster-foretold/ 

T. Belman writes, 
Of what value is NATO to the US? I see very little. Throughout the cold war, it was thought that the US must keep Europe free as a buffer for America. But things are different now. The EU is at logger heads with many US foreign policy decisions and fights the US all the way. The EU opposes the US on Iran, the UN, the Palestinian question, Israel (US wants to strengthen it while the EU wants to weaken it.) climate change policies and the value of multilateral cooperation (ie, the EU wants to hornswaggle the US with multilateralism at a time when the US wants to go it alone.), nationalism as opposed to globalism. In short, there is no reason for the US to protect the EU. Another reason for the US to jettison NATO is that Turkey is a member. Turkey has turned anti-US and there is no reason that NATO should come to Turkey’s defense.

Germany reneges on defense commitments, thumbing its nose at the alliance.
by Walter Russell Mead, WSJ

Is NATO dying? The idea was once unthinkable, but after the German cabinet decided to keep defense spending as low as 1.25% of gross domestic product for the next five years it has become unavoidable. This decision is not driven by any fiscal urgency. Germany is projected to have a balanced budget after last year’s surplus of €11.2 billion, its fifth annual surplus in a row.

Make A Stew Shabbat Menu
This week is called Shabbat Parah.  In the days and weeks leading 
up to Passover, we have a few special torah readings, this week it 
is about the Parah - the Red Heifer, an offering intended to remove 
ritual impurity and prepare our bodies and souls spiritually.  We also 
have to prepare dinner.  With the image of the heifer in mind and a 
chill of winter still in the air, we're going to enjoy a hearty beef stew 
and spectacular scallion biscuits.

On the eighth [shemini] day Moses summoned Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel.
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 9:1,6 



Shabbat Parah Shalom - Parasha Shemini - the Ordination of Aaron !!! 
 
Shabbat Shalom
 
Welcome to Shemini (Eighth), this week’s Parasha (Torah portion).
 
This portion of Torah will be read in synagogues around the world during this week’s Shabbat (Saturday) service.
 
We invite you to read it along with us; we know you’ll be blessed!

SHEMINI (Eighth)
Leviticus 9:1–11:47; 2 Samuel 6:1–7:17; Mark 9:1–13
 
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):
 
“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)
 
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)

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 (Tabernacles) 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.

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. 
 
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.

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 a drunken 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.
