This week, the Sabbath preceding Passover is Shabbat HaGadol, the fourth of the special Shabbatot leading up to the Festival of Passover. The Torah reading will be from “Tzav,” Leviticus 7:1138. It begins with a description of the ritual of the grain portion of the sacrifice that accompanies the eating of the sacrificial meat, the well-being offering brought to the Kohanim, the High Priests.
The Festival of Passover begins Saturday night with the First Seder. Beit Halev will conduct the morning service at 10:30 on Sunday, March 28, including the Torah reading from Exodus 12:21-51.
Rabbi Galit Shirah conducts a weekday Ma’ariv service every Thursday for Sim Shalom, the online synagogue. Sim Shalom presents livestream services Monday-Thursday, with a different rabbi each day. To say Kaddish, pray for healing and to hear a spiritual message, go to SimShalom.com.
Zoom classes for beginning Hebrew and Pirke Avot will begin soon. For more information, contact the Rabbi at (562) 715-0888 or duets@icloud.com.
