Parasha Vayikra A New Beginning – The Book of Leviticus
What is our divine calling?
n Parashat Vayikra, we begin a new book of the Torah. As its name suggests, Vayikra—“And He called”—invites us to ask: What is our divine calling, and how do we learn to hear and respond to it? This book teaches us about sacrifice—not only in the Temple, but in life itself. What does it mean to bring an offering?
Why do we place our hands upon what we offer? What are the different types of offerings, and what do they teach us about responsibility, intention, and closeness to God?
Join us as we explore these ideas this Shabbat.
