Streamed Torah Study (3/28)

We are switching to Zoom for Torah study. Join us in Zoom!

This week's parashat is Vayikra, Leviticus 1:1-5:26.

If you don't have a copy of the Torah where you are, use one of the many available digital resources:

• URJ's posting of the CCAR translation of Vayikra from The Torah: A Modern Commentary
• Chabad’s translation of Vayikra (with the Hebrew; you’ll have to move from chapter to chapter; you can use the button at the top of the translation to turn on Rashi’s commentary)
• Sefaria’s translation of Vayikra (with the Hebrew)

Other interpretive sources / commentaries:

• URJ's resources on Vayikra
• ISJL interpretation of Vayikra
• Chabad’s resources on Vayikra (interpretations, etc.)
