Get StartedAn Epic Understanding Of The Jewish Holidays
How the Omer Ties the Holidays Together
What does the Bible say about celebrating holidays? How does the Bible develop our understanding of what Jewish holidays really mean? This video takes a careful look at the Parshat HaMoadim, the section of the Torah that describes all of the biblical holidays. In it, Rabbi Fohrman notices that there are two major interruptions, two things that just don't seem to belong. What are they, why do they invade the laws of the holidays, and how does this help us understand Biblical Jewish holidays in a new light?
Get ready to unravel the Torah's secret about the true meaning of Sukkot, Pesach, and Shavuot.
