In this episode of Verse Per Verse, Amichai explore the torah portion Shemini.
The word that Amichai chooses to explore this week comes from Vayikra, Chapter Ten, Verse One and Two. These verses discuss the priestly offering that was made of a fire that was Zara.
What does Zara mean? Translations are as far as wide as “other” or “outside” to “unholy” and “alien.” Listen to Amichai explore it all in this week’s Verse Per Verse.
