Achrei Mot-Kedoshim (Leviticus 16-18) Kimberly Burnham

With a special focus on Parshat Achrei Mot - Kedoshim (Leviticus 16:1 - 20:27), this Torah study journal has space for journaling about each parsha or portion of the Hebrew Bible, including the five books of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. It can be used for weekly study before the Shabbat service or afterward for notes and ideas. While there are many kinds of Torah commentaries, this journal is a doorway into a poetic, mindful and sensory way of exploring each parsha. Write your thoughts, the meaningful words that stand out, and what inspires you as study the Torah. Use this journal to write poetry or notes on the ideas brought up in the portion. There are word clouds for some of the parshiot. A word cloud is a kind of word image in which the most common words are the largest and the words that appear only once in the portion are smallest. Use this journal to get a feel for the parsha in preparation for a Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah, adult Torah study, High Holy Days or a special event that includes one or more of the Torah portions. It can be used in many ways, but most of all, to enjoy Torah study. My thanks go to my many friends in the Jewish community and to my wife, Rabbi Elizabeth Goldstein and for her wisdom, which she shares so freely.
