Parashat Shmini

26 Apr - ALL DAY EVENT

Shemini (“Eighth”) opens with the consecration of the Mishkan (Tabernacle). Two of Aaron’s sons are consumed by a fire sent from God when they attempt to offer a “strange fire.” God describes the animals, birds, and fish that are permissible and prohibited for consumption, as well as some laws of ritual purity.nnTorah: Leviticus 9:1-11:47nHaftarah: II Samuel 6:1-7:17nHaftarah for Sephardim: II Samuel 6:1-19nnhttps://hebcal.com/s/shmini-20250426?uc=ical-diaspora-5785
