ADULT EDUCATION
PARSHA SUMMARY
The Parsha of Emor (“Speak”) begins with the special laws pertaining to the kohanim (“priests”), the kohen gadol (“high priest”) and the Temple service: A kohen may not become ritually impure through contact with a dead body, save on the occasion of the death of a close relative. A kohen may not marry a divorcee, or a woman with a promiscuous past; a kohen gadol can marry only a virgin. — A newborn calf, lamb or kid must be left with its mother for seven days before being eligible for an offering; one may not slaughter an animal and its offspring on the same day.
The second part of Emor lists the annual Callings of Holiness—the festivals of the Jewish calendar; weekly Shabbat; bringing of the Passover offering on 14 Nissan; seven-day Passover festival beginning on 15 Nissan; bringing of the Omer offering from the first barley harvest on the second day of Passover and commencement, on that day, of the 49-day Counting of the Omer culminating in the festival of Shavuot on the fiftieth day; a “remembrance of shofar blowing” on 1 Tishrei; a solemn fast day on 10 Tishrei; the Sukkot festival—during which we are to dwell in huts for seven days and take the “Four Kinds”—beginning on 15 Tishrei; and the immediately following holiday of the “eighth day” of Sukkot(Shemini Atzeret).
Next the Torah discusses the lighting of the menorah in the Temple and the showbread (lechem hapanim) placed weekly on the table there.
Emor concludes with an incident of a man executed for blasphemy and the penalties for murder (death) and for injuring one’s fellow or destroying his property (monetary compensation).
