In a world driven by metrics—steps counted, sleep tracked, productivity measured—have we mistaken numbers for meaning? Drawing on a powerful personal ICU experience and the mitzvah of Sefirat HaOmer in Parshat Emor, Rabbi Dunner explores a deeper truth: life isn't about accumulating totals, but about sanctifying each individual day and recognizing what truly counts in the moments themselves.

The backstory of this figure makes the story all the more tragic.

The Torah commands us to count the days from Pesach to Shavuos. We call this Sefirat HaOmer. Yet the name is puzzling. The Omer was a one-time barley offering brought in the temple on the second day of Pesach. Why define this entire period of counting by a one-time korban? Wouldn't it be more precise to call it: "The Count to Shavuos?" Parshat Kedoshim is filled not with ethereal ideas, but with practical mitzvos: honesty in business, respect for others, sensitivity, restraint. Because once a person internalizes that Hashem fills all reality, holiness is no longer something distant—it becomes something imminent and immediate. Acharei Mos leads to Kedoshim.  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 class explores the significance of the name Emor and the Torah's lessons on the power of speech. Drawing from the Rebbe's teachings, it emphasizes using words to uplift others, create positive change, and sanctify Hashem's name, rather than focusing on negativity or rebuke. https://www.torahrecordings.com/classes/by_parsha/003_vayikra/008_emor/017

Shiur dedicado à Refuá Shleimá de Eliakim Ben NaomiPatrocine uma aula e ajude a levar a Torá mais longe: shiurpix@gmail.comA aula explora a sensibilidade da Torá com o ser humano, desde o tratamento digno a infratores até a importância vital do Kavod (respeito). Através da história dos alunos de Rabi Akiva, discute-se como reconhecer a "coroa" e a singularidade de cada indivíduo para garantir uma convivência harmoniosa.

This class explores Parshat Emor, focusing on the significance of gentle speech, the lessons of Sefirat HaOmer, Pesach Sheni, and the importance of kindness and respect. It highlights the power of words, the value of second chances, and the spiritual refinement leading to receiving the Torah. https://www.torahrecordings.com/classes/by_parsha/003_vayikra/008_emor/013

This class explores the significance of positive speech in Parshat Emor, the lessons of Lag B'Omer, and the importance of honoring others even in disagreement.

Patrocine uma aula e ajude a levar a Torá mais longe: shiurpix@gmail.comA aula explora a humanidade do Kohen Gadol e como as restrições da Torá — como a proibição de casar-se com viúvas ou participar de certas decisões — servem como salvaguardas contra segundas intenções e fraquezas inerentes a qualquer indivíduo. Através desses exemplos, o Rabino demonstra que a verdadeira santidade (Kedushim) não é a ausência de impulsos, mas sim o reconhecimento das próprias vulnerabilidades e a criação de filtros práticos para evitar o erro e alinhar a vida à vontade divina.

What if the Torah's strictest, most uncomfortable laws about perfection weren't actually meant to keep us out, but to give us permission to be broken? What does holiness look like… when life refuses to cooperate? In this episode of Madlik, we dive into one of the Torah's most uncomfortable passages—Parshat Emor—where the priestly caste is commanded to live a life untouched by death, imperfect relationships, and even physical blemish. No funerals. No complicated marriages. No broken bodies. It's a vision of holiness that feels… impossible. But what if we've been reading it wrong? Key Takeaways Holiness as Separation, Not Just Morality The priestly laws aren't random restrictions—they form a unified system built on distance from life's messiness: death, complicated relationships, and physical imperfection. Holiness here isn't about being good—it's about being set apart. 2. A Vision of Perfection… or a Problematic Ideal The Kohen represents an almost utopian human—untouched by loss, imperfection, or disruption. But that raises a tension: is this an aspirational model meant to uplift, or the creation of a spiritual hierarchy that excludes real human experience? 3. From "Disqualified" to "Permitted" The word ḥalal, usually translated as profane or disqualified, may actually point in a different direction. What if it means not rejected—but released? Not unholy—but free to live fully human lives, where imperfection isn't a flaw… but the norm.

Why does the Torah tell us to count the days of the Omer, "Lachem"?

What if the holidays are less about remembering—and more about connecting? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbi Rafael Polisuk explore Parshat Emor and the meaning of sacred time. Focusing on the idea of moed, they suggest that holidays are not only about remembering the past, but about creating moments of connection. The conversation invites us to see these days as opportunities to come together and encounter something deeper.

This week we shift focus from the Haftorah to the parsha which mentions the mitzvah of counting the Omer and the holiday of Shavuot. Through the prism of these mitzvot and with the insights of Dr. Tanya White, we explore what has happened to our people during the recent war with Iran and where we might go from here.

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
