Torah Portion Preview<br />
For Acharei Mot<br />
Shabbat beginning <strong>May</strong> 3 rd , 2024<br />
Passover is still fresh in my memory. Many of us have<br />
favorite aspects of the holiday. I love the song "Chad<br />
Gadya (One Little Goat)" - though it's hard to put my<br />
finger on why. In the song, a baby goat gets swallowed<br />
by a cat, which in turn gets swallowed by a dog and so<br />
on, with each character or force stronger than the last<br />
until God smites the Angel of Death. There's something<br />
about the goat that gets swallowed up that stays with me.<br />
Two goats make an appearance in this week's Torah<br />
portion, Acharei Mot. As with the Passover song, there's<br />
mystery and meaning in the goats' presence in this<br />
week's parashah. These two goats enable us to choose a<br />
life of holiness.<br />
