  2. The Mussaf Sacrifices (audio)

    Prof. Jonathan Grossman | 11 minutes

    As we look closely at the different presentations of the holy days mentioned in this parsha and in “parashat ha-Moadot” in Vayikra, it emerges that there are two basic groups of holidays, each with a major unifying theme. The “regel” days mark major formation events of the Jewish people and express gratitude. The “Tishrei” individual holidays are about standing before God to request assistance, as a community of individuals.

  10. Holy Times

    Rabbi Jonathan Sacks

    There are five passages in the Torah dedicated to the festivals of the Jewish year. By examining them each individually, we notice that each contributes its own perspective and additions to our understanding of the holidays. Through a close analysis of the text, we can explore the uniqueness of the festival description in Parshat Emor, and its focus on the spiritual dimension of encounter, closeness, the meeting of the human and the divine.

  13. The Place of Sukkot in the Cycle of Festivals

    Rabbi Yehuda Shaviv

    The way in which the Torah divides the discussion about Sukkot is somewhat surprising: part of it is included in the portion dealing with the festivals, and the rest is included afterwards as a sort of addendum. An analysis of the text reveals that the days of Sukkot are the epitome of all the festivals of the year, and the joy of these days is the culmination of the joy of all the festivals.
