This week’s drash brought us deep into the heart of Torah, exploring the mystery and beauty of the eighth day—yom ha’shmini—a day that transcends time, nature, and ordinary holiness. It’s the day the Shekhinah came down, and the fire of Hashem consumed the offerings on the altar, revealing His glory to all the people.What does the number eight mean in our tradition? From the Brit Milah to the Beatitudes, from the Temple’s service to Yeshua’s resurrection, the “eighth” represents divine revelation, eternity, and closeness to Hashem. It’s the world beyond creation—the world to come—breaking into our own.We also reflected on what it means to be pure in heart, as Yeshua said, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” This isn’t just a poetic idea. It’s an invitation—to self-examine, to shed judgment, worry, or negativity, and to draw nearer to the presence of the Almighty.Another powerful insight arose from the pouring of blood at the base of the altar—not at the top. Why? Because holiness begins with humility. The base is where fire begins. It's also where brokenness can be transformed.In this drash, you’ll also hear heartfelt insights from our community about sacrifice, fire, mourning, purity, and God’s call to live with sober clarity and spiritual discipline.
