Portion of Emor (means speaking) - and speaking of Independence (Israel Style)
This Shabbat we read the Portion of Emor in Israel - but outside in the Diaspora the reading is a week "behind"- what we read here last week - the portion of Kedoshim!
In Emor it says "Lo Yitamo" - do not defile -
a continued idea from the portion of Kedoshim ("be holy people")
The portion of Emor contains the commandments to celebrate the holidays -
A theme from the traditional holidays includes sacrifices -
for Israel and the world
One aspect of the sacrifices offered in the Great Temple was to
bless the nations - and Israel today continues -
with Israeli technology saveing many parts of the world from hunger!
The idea "do not defile" should be spread to the worldas well -
DO NOT DEFAME OR DEFILE AND DELEGITIMIZE THE ISRAEL THAT
IS THE ONLY COUNTRY TRULY OFFERING AID TO ALL
Israel celebrated with prayer and hope and Bible Study - and BBQ!
Let's all share a little of that spirit this shabbat
Shabbat Shalom
