Acharei Mot, “After the death,” is the name of this week’s Torah portion. It picks up just following the death of Aaron’s two eldest sons in a terrible burst of fire from the Tabernacle. We read this portion in the late spring, as we are doing now. Many congregations also read it on Yom Kippur as well. It covers a wide range of topics, so there’s plenty for our darshanim to cover:
In Defense of Cultural Judaism by Rabbi David Kasher
Bringing the Entire Community Together by Rabbi Michael Safra
The Mothers of the Priests by Rabbi Lev Meirowitz Nelson
Acharei Mot by Rabbi Amitai Adler
Parenting by the Parsha: Acharei Mot by Rabbi Eve Posen (VIDEO)
The Land of Israel: Holy or Not? by Rabbi Neal Gold
On Loving Our Neighbors by Rabbi Rachel Barenblat
Great post as always!
