But Is There a Bathroom?

Published: April 3, 2020, 6 a.m.

The beginning of this week's Torah portion focuses on the ordination of Aaron and his sons and priests, who are commanded to isolate themselves in the Tabernacle for seven days. In a socially distanced world, what can we learn from their experience?

I’m not a rabbi, so every week, I look at our Torah portion and try to put it in conversation with the world around me. Judaism is rich in tradition, and each of us deserves the chance to find our own meaning in the text. Whether you’re studying Torah daily, or taking a moment to prepare for Shabbat, I hope you’ll make these ten minutes of Torah part of your week.
