(“Speak”) begins with the special laws pertaining to the kohanim (“priests”), the kohen gadol (“high priest”), and the Temple service: A kohen may not become ritually impure through contact with a dead body, save on the occasion of the death of a close relative. A kohen may not marry a divorcee, or a woman with a promiscuous past; a kohen gadol can marry only a virgin. A kohen with a physical deformity cannot serve in the Holy Temple, nor can a deformed animal be brought as an offering. "Stump the Rabbi" A newborn calf, lamb or kid must be left with its mother for seven days before being eligible for an offering; one may not slaughter an animal and its offspring on the same day. The second part of Emor lists the annual Callings of Holiness—the festivals of the Jewish calendar: the weekly Shabbat; the bringing of the Passover offering on 14 Nissan; the seven-day Passover festival beginning on 15 Nissan; the bringing of the Omer offering from the first barley harvest on the second day of Passover, and the commencement, on that day, of the 49-day Counting of the Omer, culminating in the festival of Shavuot on the fiftieth day; a “remembrance of shofar blowing” on 1 Tishrei; a solemn fast day on 10 Tishrei; the Sukkot festival—during which we are to dwell in huts for seven days and take the “Four Once, the disciples came to their chassidic Rabbi. They were playing stump-the-rabbi, and were trying to ask him a question to which there was no perfect answer. They asked him, "Rabbi, there is a ladder, and the ladder has 613 rungs on it. There is someone near the top, and someone near the bottom. Who, in the eyes of God is higher?" Kinds”—beginning on 15 Tishrei; and the immediately following holiday of the “eighth day” of Sukkot (Shemini Atzeret). Next the Torah discusses the lighting of the menorah in the Temple, and the showbread (lechem hapanim) placed weekly on the table there. Now, the Rabbi knew that the obvious answer to this would be the person near the top, who, being near the top observes nearly all 613 commandments. But to say that the person near the top is higher in the eyes of God would be presumptuous, and would deny the heights, however low, acheived by the one near the bottom. This too, might dissuade someone near the bottom from climbing even higher. On the other hand, the rabbi knew that to say the one near the bottom was higher in the eyes of God would be ludicrous, because of the heights obtained by the one near the top. So the rabbi kept silent. Thinking they had their rabbi stumped, they asked him, "Rabbi, what is the answer, if there is one?" He responded, "There is an Emor concludes with the incident of a answer, but you have not told me the man executed for blasphemy, and the whole story." The disciples said to him, penalties for murder (death) and for "Certainly we have. There is a ladder with injuring one’s fellow or destroying his 613 rungs, someone is near the top, property (monetary compensation). someone is near the bottom, and who in the eyes of God is higher?" And the rabbi said to them, "But you have not told me which of the two on the ladder is moving upwards?" Adapted from "Judaism and Christianity" by Rabbi Stuart Federow, 2012, page 44.
