Dear Guests and Members,

Thank you for joining us this special Shabbat with Scholar in

Residence Dr. Zeev Ben Shachar. With all that is happening around

the world, and right here on our own campuses - it continues to be a

topic that as Jews, we need to stand behind strongly. If not us, then

who. If not now, then when.

Dr. Ben Shachar has engaged audiences around the world. Join us

for a Shabbat of inspiring conversation on the topic of “Israel's

Moral Dilemmas” on Shabbat Day followed by a beautiful kiddush,

and "BDS Movement: A Real Threat" at Seudah Shlishit.

Thank you to a generous anonymous donor for sponsoring our

Scholar in Residence.

PARSHAT TATZEVAH פרשת תצוה – (Pages 464-482) The Parsha tells of procedures that were to be carried out in connection with the Sanctuary (Mishkan), Israel’s House of Worship in the wilderness during their wandering towards the Promised Land. The Parsha begins with instructions given to bring pure olive oil for use in the Menorah inside the Tabernacle. The seven-branched Menorah was kept burning continually in front of the Holy of Holies, in which was the Ark with the Ten Commandments. The Menorah was attended to by the Kohanim.

The Parsha then describes the garments which the Kohanim wore at the Tabernacle services. Eight of these garments are described; four of these, all Kohanim wore. In addition to the four garments, the High priest wore four more than the others. All Kohanim wore: linen breeches, a coat, a girdle around the coat and a turban for the head. In addition, the Kohen Gadol wore a robe of wool, dyed blue and hemmed with golden bells, the ephod apron-like garment made of gold-coloured wool and linen, the breast plate over the ephod which was inlaid with twelve stones for the twelve tribes of Israel. The eighth item which made up the High Priest’s ceremonial outfit was a gold plate worn on the forehead over the turban, on which was inscribed: “Holy to the L-rd”.
