Shalom everybody and welcome back to insights in the parsha of the week, parshat Emor based on the teachings of Rabbi Nachman. Um, besides the period now which is very exciting, like for example tonight is Pesach Sheni, which is absolutely amazing. And we have next week Lag B'Omer. Still we'd like to focus on the richness of the parsha. There's so much in the parsha, it's unbelievable. So in the end part of the parsha talks about the festivals, the holidays.

Then finally in when when actually beginning to mention about Pesach, so two verses later, verse number four, reads like this. "Eleh moadei Hashem mikra'ei kodesh." The following are the actual festivals of Hashem, the times of Hashem which called out holiness, the holiness of Hashem. "Asher tikre'u otam b'mo'adam." In which you should call them in their times.
