Speaking and Calling

Published: March 27, 2020, 4:10 p.m.

Why does G-d call Moses, and then speak to Moses, in the opening line of Leviticus? I couldn't make it past the first line of this week's parsha without knowing why. What is the Torah trying to tell us with this repetition?

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.
