Leviticus 9:1-11:47
The Laws of Kashrut Then Moses told Aaron’s remaining sons to make an offering to God. Afterwards, God spoke to Moses and to Aaron, telling them to state the following to the Israelite people: These are the creatures that you may eat from among all the land animals: any animal that has true hooves, with clefts through the hoofs, and that chews the cud, you may eat. The following animals who either chew the cud or have true hooves, you shall not eat: the camel, the rabbit, the hare, and the pig. You shall not eat of their flesh nor touch their carcasses. They are unclean to you. From the waters, seas and rivers, you may eat all creatures except what does not have fins and scales. They are an abomination to you. You shall not eat of their flesh.......
You shall not make yourselves unclean by eating these things. For I the Lord am your God: you shall sanctify yourselves and be holy, for I am holy. For I, the Lord God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God, you shall be holy for I am holy.

Guided Tours start on April 9th - April 16th
|
The guided tour of Temple Isaiah, a stunning architectural masterpiece, contrasts the E. Stewart Williams modernist-designed 1950s Al Liberman Chapel with the 1980s west-facing addition. The addition, originally conceived in 1971 by Donald Wexler and later in 1982 designed by David Christian to meet the growing needs of the congregation, has a magnificent panoramic window view of the San Jacinto Mountains. The Bochner Sanctuary features a colorful centerpiece ark by Israeli born sculptor and kinetic artist Yaacov Agam. The tour will include the history of sanctuary design and a Rabbi Rosenberg will speak briefly on how the pandemic reinvigorated religion and discussion to follow.
