Shemini
Parshat Shemini is all about silence and the ability to distinguish
This week we’re talking Parshat Shemini, which tells the story of the death of Aaron’s two sons, and gives insights into the laws of kashrut. And, as Sivan tells us, the two go hand in hand: The death of Aaron’s sons teaches us the importance of silence, while the laws of kashrut teach us how to differentiate. Got questions? Sivan’s got answers.
