Parashat Shmini – Weekly Torah Portion
Parashat Shmini describes the inauguration of the Mishkan (Tabernacle), the tragic deaths of Nadav and Avihu, and introduces the laws governing kosher and non-kosher animals. The parasha explores the themes of holiness and boundaries in Divine service, along with the distinctiveness the Jewish people are required to uphold through their conduct and diet. Each day’s study delves into a key narrative or legal section, following the aliyot as traditionally divided.
