Parshas HaChodesh
Remember and Renew: The Four Special Sabbaths of the Year
From the Haftorah Series

As we draw near to the blessed month of Nissan, we have greater potential to reach spiritual heights. Every significant day on the Jewish calendar, whether it is a Rosh Chodesh, a holiday, or a Shabbos, contains a special power to lift the Jewish people to new heights.

When the Holy Temple stood, the sacrifices brought the Jews to new spiritual heights. Rabbi Wein describes the ceremony by which the Prince of Israel offered sacrifices on the people’s behalf and translates its different features into moral lessons for modern times.
