[additional-authors]
May 7, 2020

Rabbi Daniel Bortz founded Jteen of San Diego, an organization dedicated to educating and empowering teenagers. He then created SOUL X, an organization offering experiential events for adults that foster deep soul connection.

This week’s Torah Portion – Parashat Emor (Leviticus 21:1-24:23) – begins with a set of purity regulations for priests. It then continues to list the main high holidays and to tell the story of a blasphemer who is stoned to death by the community. Our discussion focuses on the counting of the Omer and its meaning.
