Parashat Acharei Mot - Seventh Aliyah
This aliyah is one of the most severe and shaking in the entire Torah. The verses leave no room for soft interpretation: there are deeds, abominations, that are not only halachic prohibitions, but an existential threat to the people and to the Land itself.
Parashat Acharei Mot - Sixth Aliyah
In this aliyah we stand before one of the most powerful and penetrating passages in the Torah, a passage that sets clear and incisive boundaries regarding the holiness of the family, modesty, and sexual morality in the people of Israel.
Parashat Acharei Mot - Fifth Aliyah
In this aliyah the Torah touches on one of the most central prohibitions in Judaism, the prohibition of consuming blood, and continues into broader moral foundations of identity and conduct.
Parashat Acharei Mot - Fourth Aliyah
In this aliyah a strong demand emerges to centralize the sacrificial service in the Mishkan alone. No more field sacrifices, no more wild service, but holy service in an orderly path.
Do the two goats represent two forces within a person, one offered to holiness and one that must be sent to the wilderness?
The two goats of Yom Kippur as a mirror to the human soul: the same inner force can become holiness when directed, or wilderness when released without limits.
Parashat Acharei Mot - Third Aliyah
In this aliyah we complete the order of the Yom Kippur service, the outer, public, and profound part of the atonement of the entire nation.
Parashat Acharei Mot - Second Aliyah
In this aliyah we reach the climax of Yom Kippur, the moments of complete atonement of Aharon, the High Priest, in his service before Hashem.
Parashat Acharei Mot - First Aliyah
The parsha opens with the great drama: 'After the death of the two sons of Aharon,' Nadav and Avihu, who died in their drawing near to the Holy. From this very place the Torah teaches how one is to approach the Holy, the foundation of the Yom Kippur service.
