Shabbat Menu - Celebrating Spring
In Parsha Emor, we survey the cycle of our Jewish holidays, from Passover to Shavuot, Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur through Succot. Now that we are literally counting the days until Shavuot when we commemorate the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai we are reminded of the "omer" barley offering brought in the days of the Temple and referenced in this week's portion. In remembrance of this grain offering and its symbol of thanksgiving, we offer a delicious salad that is perfect for a Spring Shabbos!
