Podcasts about shmini

This morning we discuss the text of Birchat Kohanim, the famous Priestly Blessing, and analyze why the text of this blessing is in our Torah portion, Nasso, while the commandment to bless without the text, is in the Torah portion of Shmini, which we read several weeks ago. We provide an answer which forms a practical strategy any time we are about to enter into a fraught situation. Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law. ADATH is a modern orthodox synagogue community in suburban Montreal, providing Judaism for the next generation. We take great pleasure in welcoming everyone with a warm smile, while sharing inspiration through prayer, study, and friendship.

The Kamatz and the Patach: As We Get Closer to Redemption, Our Hearts Ache to Emerge from LockdownThis Women's Kedoshim class was presented on Tuesday, 8 Iyar, 5785, May 6, 2025, Parshas Achrei Mos-Kedoshim, at The Barn @ 84 Viola Rd. in Montebello, NY. The class explores the distinction between two identical words in Shmini and Kedoshim, "Ani," one with a Kamatz and one with a Patach. When we need to close our hearts and when we need to open it. When it comes to food and other pleasures and necessities, we must master the art of discipline and self-control. When it comes to relationships, we are capable of living with an open, confident heart.View Source Sheets: http://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9679

Dr. Julian Ungar-Sargon shares Netziv commentaries on the parsha. These sessions are held on Zoom every week in memory of our mother in-law whose dedication to the Netziv (her great great grandfather), was legendary. It is estimated she studied the Ha'amek Davar some 78 times throughout her life, devoting every Tuesday to its study. May her memory be a blessing to her family and klal Yisroel.

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a two-part look at parsha "Shmini," Leviticus chapters 9 through 11. The Erev Shabbat (Friday evening) reading begins with the story of the "eighth [shmini] day" and the events leading to the deaths of Aaron's two eldest sons. And it completes with the instruction of what is "food," and what is not. The confluence certainly suggests there is a connection, regardless of what we may have been told by many who, "by your traditions, make the commandments of YHVH of no effect." The Erev Shabbat reading: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/SSM-4-25-25-Shmini-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 As seems to be so often the case, the Torah portion story this week has a relevance to current events that demonstrates the timelessness of the message, as the lawless claim that "no one is above the law," has become a sick joke. Mark notes that there has been much discussion over the centuries of why "Aaron kept his peace," or remained silent, after the death of his two oldest sons, Nadab and Abihu. One of the explanations might be that he realized, after the 'golden calf,' that he, himself, had arguably deserved, but been spared, a similar fate. So, why those two? What did they really do? Even though Scripture explicitly tells us, questions remain. Because, "to whom much is given, much is expected." Shmini: "No One is Above the Law. And they Knew, or Should Have Known." https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/WT-CooH-4-26-25-Shmini-NO-One-is-Above-the-Law-Knew-or-Should-Have-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

A recording made after Shabbos of the past week's Drasha.

Shmini is the Hebrew worth for 8th. This Torah Portion addresses the 8th day, which is a remarkably significant concept for Christianity and prophecy. The 8th day signifies a transition in holiness, such as when a boy is circumcised on the 8th day, when the priesthood officially began, and the transition from this world to the world to come.

Torah observance means nothing if the Ruach HaKodesh hasn't transformed the heart. Listen to Rabbi David's Shabbat message based from Parasha Sh'mini at Congregation Mayim Chayim.

1)     I've said HaMapil and then realise that I haven't counted Sefirah. What should I do?[1]2)    A non-Shomer Shabbos picked up an open bottle of wine (not mevushal) to check the label. Is the wine Nesech?[2]3)    At Kiddush on one of the last nights of Pesach I said שהחיינו. Having realized my error, may I now drink the Kiddush wine?[3]4)    At Kiddush on the past Motzei Shabbos I realised that I had forgotten to include VaTodieinu in Maariv and I had carried something home from Shul. What now?[4]5)    During the Yomtov meal this past Motzei Shabbos I realized that I hadn't said the brocho Hamavdil at Kiddush. Do I recite it now, with another cup of wine?[5]6)    I have an open Sefer and I need to leave the room for a minute. May I place a mundane paper over the open Sefer?[6]7)    We learn that when praying alone one should omit Piyutim in the blessings flanking the Shema. Does that include the poem E-l Odon said on Shabbos?[7]8)    At specific points during Birchas Kohanim it is customary that the Kohanim sway to the right and the left. Is the main imperative that he sways his hands or he turns his face?[8][1] פסקי תשובות סי' רלט אות גפשיטא לי' שיספור בברכה.[2] בשו"עיו"ד סי' קכד סכ"ה מפורש להיתר, בנאד סתום. ובפתוח – במקום הפסד. וכלשכן במח"ש בזה"ז שיש מקום להקל.

Rabbi Gestetner. Parshas Shmini (5785): And Aaron was silent by Mayanot

Parashat Sh'mini [Levitcus 9-11] is the third parashah in Levitcus, and features the culminating ceremony for the inauguration of the mishkan, what Baruch Levine calls “The Initiation of Formal Worship” in his JPS Commentary on Leviticus. It culminates with the tragic deaths of Nadav and Avihu, which we discuss at some length. We also touch upon Yom HaSho'ah, Holocaust Remebrance Day, which is observed Wednesday evening, April 23, and Thursday, April 24. We are ever mindful of the hostages, dead and alive, and hope for the speedy return to their families. We pray that the soldiers defending Israel as part if its Defense Forces are removed from harm's way. Shabbat Shalom.

This evening we explore four practical lessons for us to take from the Holocaust (and though Oct. 7, 2023, was not the Holocaust, all four of these lessons apply to every one of us today). We also trace the magnificent moment of high drama in our Torah portion, Shmini, which is very subtle, and requires unpacking to appreciate.

Shmini 5785 - moonLight of Emuna - R' Dov Elias by Rabbi Avi Zakutinsky

Please, view/listen to this very compelling episode of PARSHA & PROSE with RABBI SHLOMO GEMARA. Here you will learn how Rabbi Gemara ties the Torah portion Shmini (Leviticus 9:1–11:47), with its narrative of the Tabernacle's inauguration, the tragic deaths of Nadav and Avihu, and the laws of kashrut, into Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, which explores finding purpose in life's highs and lows. You will hear how in Shmini, the divine fire that consumes the offerings (Leviticus 9:24) reflects moments of transcendent meaning, akin to Frankl's belief that purpose can emerge in awe-inspiring experiences. Yet, the sudden loss of Aaron's sons (Leviticus 10:1–3), met with Aaron's silent resilience, mirrors Frankl's insight that “suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice.” The kashrut laws (Leviticus 11) further align with Frankl's view of meaning as personal and specific, as they guide Israel to holiness through deliberate choices. Through Shmini, we see that meaning arises not only in joy and obedience but also in navigating tragedy and discipline, echoing Frankl's call to choose one's attitude and purpose in every circumstance. This is a most fascinating episode of PARSHA AND PROSE. Enjoy, comment and subscribe.

Rashi tells us the rewards that Aharon and his sons received for their silence after Nadav and Avihu's punishment with death—Parshos of the Torah were taught through them. This episode analyzes the greatness of this silence and the appropriateness of this reward.

In this fascinating conversation with Rabbanit Dena (Freundlich) Rock, we use the repeated verse, "Do not cook a kid in a mother's milk" to explore the relationship between Halakhic development and its divine source. Then we explore different rationales for Kashrut laws as well as the reasons why observant Jews wait different amounts of time between meat and milk. This week's episode has been sponsored in memory of Deanna Radin Lubin by her family on her 9th yahrtzeit. Our Vayikra series focuses on the lived experience of Torah observance and explores some of the harder issues within observant communities in accordance with the mitzvot taught in each weekly parsha.
