EMOR - THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME AND TIMING

Parshat Emor famously includes the full list of festivals for the Jewish calendar. Curiously, the list begins with Shabbat, which is not actually a festival. The commentaries struggle to find the common theme between Shabbat and offer a number of observations that themselves demand explanation. Rabbi Dunner examines a range of approaches to this jarring biblical anomaly, offering a range of eye-opening ideas which cast light on the ancient secrets of time and timing in the Jewish faith.
