Torah for Today
(scenarios) What would you do?
- You are invited by a friend to go to his mosque. You’ve never been to one. What do you think you should wear? Why?
- Every religion has its definition of holy objects. Your friend’s church was damaged in a fire. What can you do to help?
PERSONAL CONNECTION:
What Does This Parshah Mean to Me?
- Why do you think the portion goes into so much detail about what the priests would wear?
- What surprised you about all these descriptions?
- How are rabbis ordained today? Speak to a rabbi to find out.
- Look at the last few lines of the portion, where the description of the altar can be found. What do you think “alien incense” is?
- What is the ner tamid? Where do you find it today? Why do you think it should never be extinguished?
