But this parsha isn’t just about lighting candles—it’s about raising people up, carrying light through darkness, and transforming inspiration into lasting action.

Bamidbar / Shevuot
In this week’s parsha, the Israelites are counted after being divided into the 12 tribes, each with their own mission. However, before they could take on those tasks, they needed to build the Mishkan, before all else, because the need for holiness should not be postponed. The holiday of Shevuot highlights the importance and urgency of this task and being unified.

Emor
On this week’s parsha, we read about the responsibilities of the kohanim and the rhythm of the Jewish calendar—from Shabbat to Passover, from Rosh Hashanah to Sukkot. But these are more than holidays. They're appointments with the divine—reminders that what matters should be part of your calendar, not just your dreams.
We also learn about Pesach Sheni, a “second Passover” granted to those who missed the first—proof that Judaism always makes room for second chances. What does it mean to sanctify time, even in moments of chaos? Tune in to find out.
Each week, Israeli journalist and Torah scholar Sivan Rahav-Meir and Tablet’s own Liel Leibovitz discuss the week’s parsha, giving practical advice from our holiest book.
