Daily Briefing: PALESTINIAN NATIONAL IDENTITY: BUILT ON ANTISEMITISM AND ENDLESS VIOLENCE

SHABBAT READING

Colors of Holiness: Clothing the High Priest to Match the Tabernacle:  Dr. Soren Lorenzen, The Torah.com, Mar. 16, 2023 –YHWH gives Moses meticulous instructions to build the Tabernacle (Exod 25–31) and design clothing for Aaron and his sons—stand in figures for the high priest and regular priests—all of which feature several colors. In the Bible, colors are embodied in things and never discussed as abstract categories. In the case of the high priest’s outfit, the colors are references to specific pigments made from dyes.

And how can this romantic notion be replaced with reality on the ground?
