  • Miller Course - Introduction to Judaism

    If you're thinking of converting to Judaism: Completion of the Intro Program fulfills the learning requirements for conversion of the Rabbinical Assembly of America. Once you finish the course requirements and secure a sponsoring rabbi, you are eligible to become officially part of the Jewish People. If you're already Jewish: Whether you were born Jewish but never quite learned what it’s all about, you’re back after a long hiatus, or you’re just looking for a deeper understanding of your heritage, most of us could use a bit of a refresher. Jews from all walks of life enroll in the program: from people who had a Jewish day school education to those whose strongest connection was the annual box of matza on the kitchen counter.

It is one of the most widely observed Jewish holidays.

  • D'var Torah for פָּרָשַׁת צַו / Parashat Tzav 5785 12 April 2025 / 14 Nisan 5785

    10-Minute Torah on YouTube Parashat Tzav is the 25th weekly Torah portion in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading. Torah Portion:  Leviticus 6:1-8:36 In Tzav (“Command”), God tells Moses about the sacrifices offered in the Mishkan (Tabernacle), including a meal offering brought by the high priest, guilt offerings, and offerings of thanks. Moses initiates Aaron and Aaron’s sons for priestly service in the Mishkan.  [1] Triennial year 3 1:  8:1-5  · 5 p’sukim   2:  8:6-9  · 4 p’sukim   3:  8:10-13  · 4 p’sukim   4:  8:14-17  · 4 p’sukim   5:  8:18-21  · 4 p’sukim   6:  8:22-29  · 8 p’sukim   7:  8:30-36  · 7 p’sukim   maf:  8:33-36  · 4 p’sukim   Haftarah * :  Malachi 3:4-24   · 21 p’sukim  *Shabbat HaGadol Commentary and Divrei Torah   Sefaria    OU Torah    Jewish Theological Seminary    American Jewish University   Hertz Chumash: pp. 435 – 438 Triennial Year 3 (Full Kriyah pp. 429 – 438) Artscroll Chumash: pp. 580 – 587 Triennial Year 3 (Full Kriyah pp. 568 – 587) Etz Chaim Chumash: pp. 621 – 625 Triennial Year 3 (Full Kriyah pp. 613 – 625)   Shabbat HaGadol 2025 / שַׁבָּת הַגָּדוֹל 5785 Shabbat before Pesach (The Great Shabbat) 🕍 Shabbat HaGadol for Hebrew Year 5785 begins at sundown on  Friday, 11 April 2025  and ends at nightfall on  Saturday, 12 April 2025 . This corresponds to Parashat Tzav. Shabbat HaGadol (“Great Shabbat” שבת הגדול) is the Shabbat immediately before Passover. There is a special Haftarah reading on this Shabbat of the book of Malachi. Traditionally a lengthy and expansive sermon is given to the general community in the afternoon. The Shabbat before Passover is considered a "great" Shabbat because it commemorates the great miracle of the Israelites being able to select a lamb for sacrifice without being molested by their Egyptian masters on a Saturday.    The second parashat of Leviticus continues the discussion of offerings by now instructing the Cohenim/Priests how to conduct them.  As we’ve seen in the instructions of how to build the Mishkan and the subsequent carrying out of these instructions in the previous book of Exodus, we now see similar attention paid to performing the various offerings. This should show just how important Hashem considers these rituals. Consider that Genesis showed us examples of how low humankind can go in expressing evil desires.  We’ve had murder in the second generation of humans; humans trying to build a tower to wage war against Hashem; xenophobia; those in control taking advantage of those under them. Consider that in Exodus we saw how our ancestors were freed from bondage and shown signs and wonders and still lacked faith in G-d by complaining about water and food and making a Golden Calf idol when they got confused and worried. It would seem that Hashem is now providing a remedy for all that.  Here we have an actual place where G-d’s presence can be experienced and ways which humans can redeem themselves.  Back in Genesis Hashem saw that part of our nature is to express evil.  Rather than seek to destroy us yet again, He provides a pathway for redemption that is much more effective in securing and reinforcing positive behavior. Let’s all remember and consider this and keep our minds on always looking toward teshuvah , the return to righteousness.   Parashat Tzav 5785 / פָּרָשַׁת צַו 12 de abril de 2025 / 14 de Nisán de 5785   Parashat Tzav es la vigésimo quinta porción semanal de la Torá en el ciclo anual judío de lectura de la Torá. Parashat Tzav: Levítico 6:1-8:36 En Tzav (“Mandamiento”), Dios le informa a Moisés sobre los sacrificios ofrecidos en el Mishkán (Tabernáculo), incluyendo una ofrenda de comida traída por el sumo sacerdote, ofrendas por la culpa y ofrendas de agradecimiento. Moisés inicia a Aarón y a sus hijos para el servicio sacerdotal en el Mishkán.

Esto corresponde a Parashat Tzav. Shabat HaGadol (“Gran Shabat” שבת הגדול) es el Shabat inmediatamente anterior a Pésaj. En este Shabat se lee una Haftará especial del libro de Malaquías. Tradicionalmente, por la tarde, se ofrece un sermón extenso y conciso a la comunidad. El Shabat anterior a Pésaj se considera un Shabat "gran" porque conmemora el gran milagro de los israelitas, quienes pudieron seleccionar un cordero para el sacrificio sin ser molestados por sus amos egipcios en sábado.   La segunda parashat de Levítico continúa el análisis de las ofrendas instruyendo a los Cohenim/Sacerdotes sobre cómo realizarlas. Como vimos en las instrucciones sobre cómo construir el Mishkán y su posterior ejecución en el libro anterior de Éxodo, ahora vemos que se presta la misma atención a la realización de las diversas ofrendas.   Esto demuestra la importancia que Hashem otorga a estos rituales. Consideren que el Génesis nos mostró ejemplos de cuán bajo puede llegar la humanidad al expresar malos deseos. Hemos visto asesinatos en la segunda generación de humanos; humanos que intentan construir una torre para declarar la guerra a Hashem; xenofobia; quienes ostentan el poder se aprovechan de sus subordinados. Consideren que en Éxodo vimos cómo nuestros antepasados ​​fueron liberados de la esclavitud y se les mostraron señales y prodigios, y aun así carecían de fe en Dios al quejarse del agua y la comida, y al construir un becerro de oro cuando estaban confundidos y preocupados.   Parecería que Hashem ahora está proporcionando un remedio para todo eso. Aquí tenemos un lugar real donde se puede experimentar la presencia de Dios y maneras en que los humanos pueden redimirse. En el Génesis, Hashem vio que parte de nuestra naturaleza es expresar el mal. En lugar de buscar destruirnos una vez más, Él proporciona un camino de redención mucho más efectivo para asegurar y reforzar el comportamiento positivo.   Recordemos y consideremos esto, y mantengamos nuestras mentes siempre en la teshuvá, el retorno a la rectitud.
