“the term ויקר, comes from the root ,קרה, which means is connected with” - Rashi The first word of this week's portion is spelled with a small aleph. Rashi explains why. His point is simple. The entire book of Leviticus centers on the Tabernacle and sacrifice and it is possible we will lose sight of the central role of the priestly cult and that is bringing us together, finding a place to meet.
For two years we have been starved for each other. Now is the time to come back. Do whatever you need to feel comfortable, but come back. This past week, we had nearly 40 people in person. This past Sunday, for the first time in two years we gathered as a school for Havdallah. It is time to come back. Come with a mask, come without one. Come for services, come for a class, come for kiddush. Come just to see a friend. If you would like me to seel your Hametz please respond to this email will your name and address. This must be done by April 14th, 2022 at 8:00am
