Weekly Sidra: Acharei Mot (after” or “after) Torah Portion: Vayikra / Leviticus 16:1-18:30 Haftorah: Malachi / Malachi 3:4-2 Acharei, Achrei Mos, Aharei Mot, or Ahare Moth (אַחֲרֵי or אַחֲרֵי מוֹת — Hebrew for “after” or “after the death,” the fifth word or fifth and sixth words, and the first distinctive word or words, in the parshah) is the 29th weekly Torah portion (parshah) in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading and the sixth in the book of Leviticus.

At a time where Zionism is defamed and slandered, this article sets out the truth. I am a Zionist. I believe that the Jewish people established itself in the Land of Israel, albeit somewhat late. Had it listened to the alarm clock, there would have been no Holocaust, and my dead grandfather – the one I was named after – would have been ...
Y pensará en cambiar los tiempos y la Torá (instrucciones del Eterno). Las escrituras de Israel traen vida, y es por eso que Tehilim (Salmos) dicen: 1:1 Dichoso el varón que no anduvo en consejo de malos, Ni estuvo en camino de pecadores, Ni en silla de escarnecedores se ha sentado; 1:2 Sino que en la Torá ( ley) de HaSh ...
