PARSHAH IN A NUTSHELL
Leviticus 1:1–5:26
The name of the Parshah, "Vayikra," means "And [He] called" and it is found in Leviticus 1:1.

G‑d calls to Moses from the Tent of Meeting, and communicates to him the laws of the korbanot, the animal and meal offerings brought in the Sanctuary. These include:
• The "ascending offering" (olah) that is wholly raised to G‑d by the fire atop the altar;
• Five varieties of "meal offering" (minchah) prepared with fine flour, olive oil and frankincense;
• The "peace offering" (shelamim), whose meat was eaten by the one bringing the offering, after parts are burned on the altar and parts are given to the kohanim (priests);
• The different types of "sin offering" (chatat) brought to atone for transgressions committed erroneously by the high priest, the entire community, the king or the ordinary Jew;
• The "guilt offering" (asham) brought by one who has misappropriated property of the Sanctuary, who is in doubt as to whether he transgressed a divine prohibition, or who has committed a "betrayal against G‑d" by swearing falsely to defraud a fellow man.


HAFTORAH IN A NUTSHELL
Isaiah 43:21-44:23
This week's haftorah starts with a rebuke to the Israelites for abandoning the Temple's sacrificial service. Sacrifices are the dominant topic of the week's Torah reading, too.

The prophet Isaiah rebukes the Israelites for turning away from G‑d and refraining from offering sacrifices, turning to idolatry instead. G‑d exhorts the people to return to Him, promising to forgive their transgressions, as is His wont.

The prophet then mentions the futility of serving empty idols which may be crafted by artisans but "neither see nor hear nor do they know…" The haftorah concludes with G‑d's enjoinder to always remember Him and to return to Him.


SAGES ON THE PARSHAH

Vayikra (Leviticus 1:1)

Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Lubavitch (who later became the third Rebbe of Chabad) entered cheder on the day after Yom Kippur of the year 1792, eleven days after his third birthday. The child's grandfather, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, instructed Reb Avraham the melamed to begin the first lesson with the opening verses of Vayikra.

Following the lesson, the child asked: "Why is the word vayikra written with a little aleph?"

For a long while Rabbi Schneur Zalman sat in a deep meditative trance. Then he explained:

"The first man, Adam, was 'the handiwork of G‑d,' and G‑d attested that his wisdom was greater than that of the angels. Adam was aware of his own greatness, and this awareness caused him to overestimate himself and led to his downfall in the sin of the Tree of Knowledge.

"Moses, who possessed a soul deriving from chochmah of atzilut (the highest manifestation of Divine wisdom), was also aware of his own greatness. But this did not lead him toward self-aggrandizement. On the contrary, it evoked in him a broken and anguished heart, and made him extremely humble in his own eyes, thinking to himself that if someone else had been blessed with the gifts with which he, Moses, had been blessed, that other person would surely have achieved far more than himself. Thus G‑d testifies in the Torah that 'Moses was the most humble man upon the face of the earth.'

"In the letters of the Torah, which G‑d gave at Sinai, there are three sizes: intermediate letters, oversized letters and miniature letters. As a rule, the Torah is written with intermediate letters, signifying that a person should strive for the level of 'the intermediate man' (a concept that Rabbi Schneur Zalman puts forth in his Tanya). Adam's name is spelled with an oversize aleph (in I Chronicles 1:1), because his self-awareness led to his downfall. On the other hand, Moses, through his sense of insufficiency, attained the highest level of humility, expressed by the miniature aleph of Vayikra."

(From the talks of the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson)

A clear self-paced program that guides one through the Gemara

Many sincere Bnei Torah spend years learning Gemara… yet quietly feel it never really became clear. They go to shiurim and try Daf Yomi — but on their own, they're not sure they can really work through a Gemara. Sometimes it's the words. Sometimes the flow. Sometimes the full picture just doesn't come together. To address this, a renowned Maggid Shiur, Rabbi Dovid Raskas drew on over 20 years of teaching experience to develop a clear self-paced program that guides one through the Gemara — so one can finally go through it on his own. For more information, tuition, and application visit

Parent program: Tuning In To Kids

Jewish Care is now enrolling for the April intake of the Tuning In To Kids parent program.

Developed by the University of Melbourne, the 6 week series explores practical skills for recognising and responding to children's emotions. By helping children learn how to better understand and regulate their big feelings, parents often notice a decrease in tricky behaviours like tantrums and report feeling closer and more connected to their kids.

The program is facilitated in a warm and supportive environment with sensitivity for the needs of frum families. Further subsidies available for those experiencing financial hardship.

Spaces strictly limited. For further information or to register your interest, contact cbarrett@jewishcare.org.au

Freedom begins with Dignity - and It Starts with Us!



View this email in your browser

Dear Friends,

This Pesach, we celebrate freedom. But true freedom begins with dignity.

In a world that feels increasingly uncertain — with challenges and crises affecting communities everywhere — it can be easy to feel powerless. Yet even amidst the chaos, we cannot forget our own: families in our Melbourne Jewish community for whom the holiday is overshadowed by worry — about food, rent, or basic necessities.

No one else will step in to care for our own.

It is up to us to ensure every family can celebrate with security, hope, and dignity.

Your gift this Passover can transform survival into freedom — because freedom begins with dignity, and dignity begins with us.

 
DONATE NOW

Wishing you and your loved ones a Pesach Kasher Ve'Sameach!

Chag Sameach,

Rob Alden
