Torah (JPSA) 03: Leviticus

by Jewish Publication Society of America

Leviticus, the third book of the Torah, is a detailed guide to the laws and rituals of ancient Israelite religion. It focuses on the topics of sacrifices, offerings, and purification, and it lays out the rules for maintaining holiness in everyday life. The book covers a wide range of subjects, including dietary laws, rules for dealing with leprosy, regulations for the priesthood, and guidelines for the celebration of festivals. Leviticus is often considered one of the most challenging books of the Torah, but it provides valuable insights into the nature of Jewish faith and practice. The book is presented according to weekly parshah (Torah portion) with summaries and descriptions provided by Wikipedia and Linette Geisel.
