Parshat Emor
Send us a textThe sanctification of God's name stands as Judaism's most profound obligation—a mitzvah that transcends mere religious observance to become the very embodiment of what it means to be Jewish. Through an exploration of Parshat Emor, we discover that Kiddush Hashem goes far beyond the dramatic act of martyrdom most commonly associated with it.Did you know that when you resist temptation in private, with no witnesses except the Almighty, you fulfill this sacred commandment? Or that your responsibility scales directly with how others perceive your religious standing? These are just two of the seven profound dimensions of Kiddush Hashem revealed in this exploration.The mitzvah derives its power from our fundamental relationship with God established during the Exodus. Having been slaves entitled to nothing, our entire existence flows from divine grace. This recognition forms the foundation for our commitment to represent God faithfully in the world—whether in business transactions, casual interactions with strangers, or private moments of spiritual struggle.Most striking is the teaching that accidental desecration carries the same weight as intentional wrongdoing when it comes to God's reputation. The impact on observers remains the same regardless of our intent, reminding us to move through the world with heightened awareness of how our actions might be perceived.Through compelling stories of rabbis who understood the gravity of this responsibility, we witness how even small interactions—like properly greeting an elevator attendant—can become powerful moments of divine sanctification. Every Jewish person serves as God's ambassador, with the power to shape how others view not just Judaism, but the Almighty Himself.Take this journey through one of Judaism's most foundational concepts and discover how you can transform everyday moments into opportunities to bring honor to God's name.

BH Sanctify Hashem's Name! Are we up for the task?
In the wake of President Trump's landmark visit to the Gulf, the illusion of Arab unity may finally be crumbling. From multi billion-dollar deals to diplomatic realignments, the Middle East is moving on from outdated identities. Rabbi Dunner explores this seismic shift—through politics, history, and Parshat Emor's deeper lesson about letting go of pre-set identities and embracing a better future.
The story of the "curser" at the end of Emor and the incident in Shemot can be understood through the lense of Chazal, and the lessons are poignant

PINCHUS The Secret To To Having A Good Day. Dozens of books and articles talk about the essential need for a proper morning routine. CEOs and successful people boast about how they structure their mornings. They have a detailed plan for how the first hour of the day looks. They do not drift with the morning but control and manage it, starting the day with an empowering text, morning exercise, and planning tasks for the next day. To understand this, we will explore, how did the section on the Tamid and Musaf offerings get here? How did one of the most important chapters in the Torah, which should have been brought at the beginning of the order of the Mishkan's work, get postponed to the end of the Torah? The chapter should have been written either at the beginning of the book of Vayikra, or be included in the section on the festivals in Parshat Emor, when the Torah details all the laws of the holidays? Why, then, is it here, and what is its peculiar placement trying to tell us? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mendy-goldberg/support

On the one hand, the last seven months have been a frightening, disturbing, disorienting time , but they have also been most positive and inspiring. In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed “Bohemian Rhapsody”. His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band “Foreigner” (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, “Feels Like The First Time”, “Cold as Ice” and “Long, Long Way from Home”. Other production work included “The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars”, “The Curves”, and “Nutz” as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich's Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others. Rabbi Sinclair was born in London, and lives with his family in Jerusalem. He was educated at St. Anthony's Preparatory School in Hampstead, Clifton College, and Bristol University.

This almost poetic episode with Dr. Tammy Jacobowitz explores the spiritual and qualitative differences between Shabbat and the holidays in our religious lives. Our series on Vayikra is titled ‘Kedusha is in the Details' and explores the way these laws try to elevate each of our most basic human functions: food intake, bodily functions, relationships, spaces of worship, and our use of time.
