"Every new #sefer in the #Torah opens a doorway.

#Bereishis opens the doorway of beginnings. #Shemos opens the doorway of becoming. #Vayikra opens the doorway of the inner world and the discipline of holiness held close. Each #book shifts the frame of the story, and the direction in which the neshama is asked to turn.

Sefer #Bamidbar opens a doorway of a different kind. It leads into the wilderness that will shape the next stage of the nation’s life. The midbar stretches in every direction, a landscape with no roads and no familiar landmarks. It is the Torah’s first map. It is not a map drawn on parchment. It is a map drawn in people – a map of where they stand, how they orient themselves, and what they face."

I can’t say it’s fantastic reading, as a vegetarian…

#Parsha #Vayikra #Torah #Mazeldon

The entrails and the legs shall be washed with water; the priest shall offer up and turn the whole into smoke on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering by fire, of pleasing odor to הי.
