...In the seventh month, on the first of the month, there shall be a sabbath for you, a remembrance with shofar blasts, a holy convocation. -Leviticus 16:24 (Note: when any Bible holiday falls any day, that day becomes Shabbat / Sabbath, even if it is Tuesday).

Speak to the children of Israel, saying: “In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a Shabbat-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation” (Vayikra / Leviticus 23:24). The shofar is/was blown on the first of Tishri, the seventh month of the Jewish religious calendar. It is Yom Teruah, “th ...

La porción semanal de la Torá, a ser leída este shabat lleva por nombre Ekev, y en ella salta a relucir el tema de las Berajot (Bendiciones), y es en ello que centraremos nuestro comentario semanal.

The command to observe the Shabbat is almost always prefaced by the statement, “you shall do your work for six days etc.” Why the need for this prologue related to the regular week?

I charged your magistrates at that time as follows, "Hear out your fellow men, and decide justly between any man and a fellow Israelite or a stranger. 17 You shall not be partial in judgment: hear out low and high alike. Fear no man, for judgment is God's. And any ma ...

El Talmud, Zevajim 19, dice que Pinjás no era kohén antes de ejecutar a Zimrí. Sólo Aharón y su familia y su futura descendencia habían sido designados como sacerdotes (kohanim). Pero como Pinjás ya había nacido cuando Aharón y sus hijos fueron instalados como sacerdotes, él no ...
