Shema Beni Musar Avicha v'Al Titosh Toras Imecha. Thursday, January 19, 2012. Vayigash - Living for Nachas. Is my favorite parsha. In the Torah. I wait from year to year to read the emotional reunion of Yaakov and his son Yosef. Few things are as sad as the separation of parents and children. So, what could be happier than their reunion? But his heart rejected this news, until he was shown the wagons (agalot). To bring him to Egypt, and he realized their symbolism. The Eglah arufah. Together, I do feel y...

What clothing to sew for the Kohanim. How to create the vessels needed in the Tabernacle. After all the instruction, all the wise-hearted of the nation followed Hashem's instructions, and Moshe actually put all the pieces together to create a place worthy within which Hashem's Schechina. Now in Parshat Vayikra,. I think...

Ema's Torah: April 2012
http://emastorah.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Shema Beni Musar Avicha v'Al Titosh Toras Imecha. Saturday, April 14, 2012. Parshat Shemini - Learning and Teaching. This parsha brought a very exciting moment to the Jewish world. In the middle of Parshat Shemini. 10:16, we find the expression, "Moshe inquired insistently about the he-goat of the sin-offering." In Hebrew the wording is "V'et s'ir ha'chatat darosh darash.". Are spelled the same. They are also the exact center. Of the Torah, the half-way point. Just as the center of the Torah is darosh.
