Pesach

Ardelle Brody

Shalom!   For the next two weeks, our focus is on Pesach/Passover, the waving of the barley sheaf, and the Week of Unleavened Bread. In this email, I have a few comments on what it means to be "unleavened."   As with almost every Biblical concept, there is disagreement as to what should physically be removed from a person's dwelling. Here is the commandment as translated into English:   Shemot/Exodus 12:15 'Seven days you shall eat...

Vayakhel/Pekudei

Ardelle Brody

Shalom!   We finish the book of Shemot this week with a double Torah reading. Chapters 35 through 40 are somewhat of a repetition of chapters 25-31. The earlier chapters of Shemot contain the plan of the Tabernacle, while the chapters we study this week speak of the actual construction and completion. The Sabbath command with its severe penalty for breaking, opens this week's parasha, while it closed the parallel section in Chapter 31: Shemot/Exodus 31:14 'You shall keep...
