Today's Mitzvot (Day 129 of 339):

Negative Mitzvot 135, 136
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Negative Mitzvah 135: A Priest who is not circumcised is forbidden
to eat "Terumah"

-Leviticus 22:10 "A tenant of the priest or a hired servant may not
eat of the holy [food]"

Circumcision is the most important sign of a male's connection
to HaShem. Without circumcision, the male lacks that special
bond.

A non-circumcised priest may not eat "Terumah." He also is forbidden
to eat other sacrificial meat.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Negative Mitzvah 136: An impure Priest is forbidden to eat "Terumah"

-Leviticus 22:4 "Any man who is of the seed of Aaron...shall
not eat of the holy [food]s, until he is pure"

A priest who has become impure may not eat from Terumah.

He must first purify himself according to the Torah's instructions
and he is then allowed to eat his Terumah.

Vayechi - Jacob's Unrequited Desire
By Moshe New

“Jacob called for his sons and said, ‘Gather and I will tell you what will happen to you at the end of days”. Rashi explains: He attempted to reveal when Moshiach would come, but the Shechinah withdrew from him. So he began to say other things.
