Parashat Leh-Leha 5783 / פָּרָשַׁת לֶךְ־לְךָ 5 November 2022 / 11 Cheshvan 5783 https://youtu.be/Hirj4TD0vPY Parashat Leh-Leha is the 3rd weekly Torah portion in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading.

It is interesting that we are first introduced to them as “Avram” and “Sarai”. It later becomes a positive commandment to refer to them by their new “Hebrew” names. This is also the basis of us Jews getting Hebrew names. Also, many commentators refer to them by their new names in Torah commentaries despite how they are identified because of that, and we will do the same. Hashem comes to Abraham and tells him to leave his home and his and go to a place where God will show him to a place he does not know. Consider both the physical and spiritual implications. Hashem wants to get him away from the influence of the idolatry and paganism of those people and become the world’s first monotheist. Why Abraham? We see examples of Abraham’s graciousness and kindness to everyone. Even though Lot, his nephew whom he is taking care of, is younger, Abraham gives him the choice of land to settle after their respective herdsmen start bickering about land and they need to separate. When Lot is captured during a war, Abraham assembles his men to go rescue him. As Abraham is our first Patriarch, let us study his behavior and use him as our role model. It is through him that we are all Jews. Parashat Leh-Leha 5783 / פָּרָשַׁת לֶךְ־לְךָ 5 noviembre 2022 / 11 Jeshvan 5783 https://youtu.be/Hirj4TD0vPY Parashat Leh-Leha es la tercera porción semanal de la Torá en el ciclo judío anual de lectura de la Torá. Porción de la Torá: Génesis 12:1-17:27 Lej Lejá (“Ir”) relata el primer encuentro de Abraham (aquí conocido como Abram) con Dios, su viaje a Canaán, el nacimiento de su hijo Ismael, el pacto entre él, sus descendientes y Dios, y el mandamiento de Dios de circuncidar a los varones de su casa. [1] Trienal año 1 1: 12:1-3 · 3 p'sukim · 2: 12:4-9 · 6 p'sukim · 3: 12:10-13 · 4 p'sukim · 4: 12:14-20 · 7 p'sukim · 5: 13:1-4 · 4 p'sukim · 6: 13:5-11 · 7 p'sukim · 7: 13:12-18 · 7 p'sukim · maf: 13:16-18 · 3 p'sukim · Haftará: Isaías 40:27-41:16 · 21 p'sukim Comentario y Divrei Torah Sefaria OU Torah Seminario Teológico Judío Soncino Chumash: págs. 45 - 50 Año Trienal 1 (Kriyah completo págs. 45 - 60) Artscroll Chumash: págs. 54 - 61 Año trienal 1 (Kriyah completa págs. 54 - 77) Etz Chaim Chumash: págs. 69 - 77 Año trienal 1 (Kriyah completa págs. 69 - 93) En la porción de esta semana, conocemos a Abraham y Sara, nuestros “padres”. Es interesante que se nos presente por primera vez como "Avram" y "Sarai". Más tarde se convierte en un mandamiento positivo referirse a ellos por sus nuevos nombres “hebreos”. Esta es también la base de que nosotros, los judíos, obtengamos nombres hebreos. Además, muchos comentaristas se refieren a ellos por sus nuevos nombres en los comentarios de la Torá a pesar de cómo se identifican por eso, y nosotros haremos lo mismo. Hashem se acerca a Abraham y le dice que deje su hogar y los suyos y vaya a un lugar donde Dios le mostrará un lugar que no conoce. Considere las implicaciones tanto físicas como espirituales. Hashem quiere alejarlo de la influencia de la idolatría y el paganismo de ese pueblo y convertirlo en el primer monoteísta del mundo. ¿Por qué Abrahán? Vemos ejemplos de la bondad y bondad de Abraham para con todos. Aunque Lot, su sobrino a quien está cuidando, es más joven, Abraham le da a elegir la tierra para establecerse después de que sus respectivos pastores comienzan a discutir sobre la tierra y necesitan separarse. Cuando Lot es capturado durante una guerra, Abraham reúne a sus hombres para ir a rescatarlo. Como Abraham es nuestro primer patriarca, estudiemos su comportamiento y usémoslo como nuestro modelo a seguir. Es a través de él que todos somos judíos.

Hashem’s ultimate creation, humankind, had grown corrupt in the ten generations from Adam. They freely engaged in robbery and the human-made courts had abrogated their responsibility in not punishing them. With the threat of consequences, people became more bold in their disregard for the rights of others. Noah was righteous in his generation. Does this mean that he was a righteous man or just the best of the corrupt people of him time? Does it really matter? Righteous is righteous. In either case, his righteousness could have been an example to his fellows. Instead, they pursued their criminal activities. It took Noah one hundred and twenty years to build the ark from the gopher wood. This was so people could ask him what he was doing, and he could inform them of the impending flood that would wipe out beings all over the Earth. This would allow them to repent and prevent their doom. They didn’t and Hashem did. Noah and his family survived, again because of his righteousness, to rebuild humanity from an ostensibly better stock.

Were the six days really days? Or were they just periods of time? We use the word “day” in two different contexts. The first context is for the 24-hour period in which the Earth rotates to the same place facing the sun. The second context is for the daylight hours during that time period. So it may perhaps have yet another meaning for just a certain time period. Hence, the first “day” may have been mere micro-seconds of the creation of the Universe while the second day of chaos forming may have taken billions of years. Does a belief in religion and the story of Creation rule out acceptance of Science? The current theory of Create is the Big Bang Theory. Consider that the theory that the material Universe formed in an instant is fairly accurately described by the first chapter of Genesis. Judaism and science walk hand-in-hand.

Moshe Rabbeinu has just broken the tablets of the Ten Commandments after seeing some of the Israelites acceding to the mixed multitude that accompanied them out of Egypt is forming a Golden Calf after Moses didn’t come back down from the mountain at the time expected. Ascending again to receive the second tablets of the Ten Commandments, Moses seeks to understand more of who Hashem is. Hashem then passes before him and shows him the back of His “head". Hashem has Moses hide in the cleft of a rock since no mortal can see Hashem and live. Hashem then reveals his thirteen attributes. We now recite these before reading Torah on a day that is not Shabbat and days when we are asking for forgiveness.

Al ascender nuevamente para recibir las segundas tablas de los Diez Mandamientos, Moisés busca entender más sobre quién es Hashem. Hashem luego pasa delante de él y le muestra la parte de atrás de Su "cabeza". Hashem tiene a Moisés escondido en la hendidura de una roca ya que ningún mortal puede ver a Hashem y vivir.

Yom Kippur 2022 / יוֹם כִּפּוּר 5783 Day of Atonement ✡️ Yom Kippur for Hebrew Year 5783 begins at sundown on Tuesday, 4 October 2022 and ends at nightfall on Wednesday, 5 October 2022. https://youtu.be/FehJvrodX_8 Yom Kippur (Hebrew: יוֹם כִּפּוּר or יום הכיפורים), Also known as Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the year for the Jews. Its central themes are atonement and repentance. Jews traditionally observe this holy day with a 25-hour period of fasting and intensive prayer, often spending most of the day in synagogue services. Yom Kippur completes the annual period known in Judaism as the High Holy Days (or sometimes “the Days of Awe”). Yom Kippur / יוֹם כִּפּוּר Wednesday, 5 October 2022 / 10 Tishrei 5783 Torah Portion: Leviticus 16:1-34; Numbers 29:7-11 1: Leviticus 16:1-6 · 6 p’sukim · 2: Leviticus 16:7-11 · 5 p’sukim · 3: Leviticus 16:12-17 · 6 p’sukim · 4: Leviticus 16:18-24 · 7 p’sukim · 5: Leviticus 16:25-30 · 6 p’sukim · 6: Leviticus 16:31-34 · 4 p’sukim · maf: Numbers 29:7-11 · 5 p’sukim · Haftarah: Isaiah 57:14-58:14 · 22 p’sukim Our morning Torah reading describes the service of the Kohen Gadol/High Priest making atonement on behalf of Israel. The first service was performed by Aaron, brother of Moses, the fist High Priest. The service involved him changing into golden vestments and going into the Holy of Holies, the innermost sanctum of the Mishkan, the portable Tabernacle that was built what we were still in the desert. Two goats were taken and one was chosen as the sacrifice while the other was set off into the wilderness to “Azazel”. There is a lot of commentary as to what or even who Azazel is. Our interpretation comes from the two words that make up the word: “Oz” for strength and “El” for Hashem. Consider this as beseeching G-d to forgive our sins. There is a big difference between forgiving sins during this time and other times throughout the year: Intentional Sins can be forgiven with the right amount of sincere repentance. Even willful sinners can be forgiven. Today we have no Temple and do not do offerings. But we do Taschlich, a ceremony of casting breadcrumbs into a body of water, symbolic of casting away our sins as we observe Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur (Mincha, Traditional) / יוֹם כִּפּוּר מִנחָה Torah Portion: Leviticus 18:1-30 1: Leviticus 18:1-5 · 5 p’sukim · 2: Leviticus 18:6-21 · 16 p’sukim · 3: Leviticus 18:22-30 · 9 p’sukim · Haftarah: Jonah 1:1-4:11; Micah 7:18-20 · 51 p’sukim The afternoon reading is a list of forbidden relationships. A couple of reasons are given. During Yom Kippur we refrain from drinking and eating and forms of pleasure in order to prove to ourselves that we are capable of resisting the most intense temptations. So here we have warnings to continue striving for morality and ethical behavior, even in the face of the tempting activities. There is also the contrast between neighboring peoples who did not let morality interfere with their quest for pleasure. These peoples would also incorporate despicable acts into their worship. Thus are we led down the path of righteousness by expressing our human urges in socially acceptable ways. Yom Kippur 2022 / יוֹם כִּפּוּר 5783 Día de Expiación ✡️ Yom Kippur para el año hebreo 5783 comienza al atardecer del martes 4 de octubre de 2022 y termina al anochecer del miércoles 5 de octubre de 2022. https://youtu.be/FehJvrodX_8 Yom Kipur (en hebreo: יוֹם כִּפּוּר o יום הכיפורים), también conocido como Día de la Expiación, es el día más sagrado del año para los judíos. Sus temas centrales son la expiación y el arrepentimiento. Los judíos tradicionalmente observan este día sagrado con un período de 25 horas de ayuno y oración intensiva, a menudo pasando la mayor parte del día en los servicios de la sinagoga. Yom Kippur completa el período anual conocido en el judaísmo como los Grandes Días Sagrados (o, a veces, "los Días del Temor"). Yom Kipur / יוֹם כִּפּוּר miércoles, 5 octubre 2022 / 10 Tishrei 5783 Porción de la Torá: Levítico 16:1-34; Números 29:7-11 1: Levítico 16:1-6 · 6 p'sukim · 2: Levítico 16:7-11 · 5 p'sukim · 3: Levítico 16:12-17 · 6 p'sukim · 4: Levítico 16:18-24 · 7 p'sukim · 5: Levítico 16:25-30 · 6 p'sukim · 6: Levítico 16:31-34 · 4 p'sukim · maf: Números 29:7-11 · 5 p’sukim · Haftará: Isaías 57:14-58:14 · 22 p'sukim Nuestra lectura matutina de la Torá describe el servicio del Kohen Gadol/Sumo Sacerdote haciendo expiación en nombre de Israel. El primer servicio fue realizado por Aarón, hermano de Moisés, el primer Sumo Sacerdote. El servicio involucró que él se pusiera vestiduras doradas y entrara al Lugar Santísimo, el santuario más recóndito del Mishkán, el Tabernáculo portátil que fue construido en lo que todavía éramos en el desierto. Se tomaron dos machos cabríos y se eligió uno como sacrificio, mientras que el otro se envió al desierto a "Azazel". Hay muchos comentarios sobre qué o incluso quién es Azazel. Nuestra interpretación proviene de las dos palabras que componen la palabra: "Oz" para fuerza y ​​"El" para Hashem. Considere esto como una súplica a Di-s para que perdone nuestros pecados. Hay una gran diferencia entre perdonar los pecados durante este tiempo y otros momentos del año: los pecados intencionales se pueden perdonar con la cantidad correcta de arrepentimiento sincero. Incluso los pecadores voluntariosos pueden ser perdonados. Hoy no tenemos Templo y no hacemos ofrendas. Pero hacemos Taschlich, una ceremonia de arrojar migas de pan en un cuerpo de agua, símbolo de desechar nuestros pecados mientras observamos Rosh Hashaná y Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur (Minjá, tradicional) / יוֹם כִּפּוּר מִנחָה Porción de la Torá: Levítico 18:1-30 1: Levítico 18:1-5 · 5 p'sukim · 2: Levítico 18:6-21 · 16 p'sukim · 3: Levítico 18:22-30 · 9 p'sukim · Haftará: Jonás 1:1-4:11; Miqueas 7:18-20 · 51 p'sukim La lectura de la tarde es una lista de relaciones prohibidas. Se dan un par de razones. Durante Yom Kippur nos abstenemos de beber, comer y formas de placer para demostrarnos a nosotros mismos que somos capaces de resistir las tentaciones más intensas. Así que aquí tenemos advertencias para seguir luchando por la moralidad y el comportamiento ético, incluso frente a las actividades tentadoras. También existe el contraste entre los pueblos vecinos que no permitieron que la moral interfiriera en su búsqueda de placer. Estos pueblos también incorporarían actos despreciables a su culto. Así somos guiados por el camino de la rectitud al expresar nuestros impulsos humanos en formas socialmente aceptables.

Parashat Ha’Azinu 5783 / פָּרָשַׁת הַאֲזִינוּ 8 October 2022 / 13 Tishrei 5783 https://youtu.be/7UmfBT0YSlI Parashat Ha’Azinu is the 53rd weekly Torah portion in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading. Torah Portion: Deuteronomy 32:1-32:52 In Ha’azinu (“Listen”) , Moses recites a poem praising God and criticizing the sins of the Israelites. He describes the misfortunes that the Israelites will face and the damage God will ultimately wreak on their oppressors. The portion ends as God commands Moses to ascend Mount Nebo, where he is to die.

The very portion of the Torah, V’Zot Habracha, is read during Simchat Torah. It is structured as a poem as two columns. There is a purpose to this. The columns serve as a warning. As the two pillars are able to hold up a building, for example, for side-to-side there is no support, jJust as Samson was able to push two pillars apart and crush the Philistines. Israel must be careful. This must “give ear” to Hashem’s teachings and not stray side-to-side but stay straight. As we say “Yasher Ko’ah”—"may your strength be straight”—to congratulate someone completing a difficult reading or task, so must our strength be straight to avoid straying from Torah. When we settle the land and become prosperous, we must always remember it is because Hashem blesses us for observing mitzvot; if we stray and turn to other gods, prosperity will disappear. Just as Hashem is a “faithful G-d, never false”, so must we be faithful to Hashem’s ways and never be false.
