HaChodesh: The Fourth of the Special Parshiot

29 Adar Bet 5782
Erev Shabbat Kodesh
Erev Rosh Chodesh Nissan 
Parashat Tazria - HaChodesh

What is Parshat HaChodesh?

Parashat HaChodesh is a special section of the Torah (Exodus 12:1-20) which is read on the Shabbat before the month of Nissan. Or, if Rosh Chodesh Nissan falls out on Shabbat, this section is read on that day. It is read as a preparation for Pesach, and discusses various commandments related to the holiday, including the Paschal offering, bitter herbs, Matzah, and the Seder.

This portion begins with the instruction to create a lunar calendar, (the first commandment given to the Jews as a nation,) giving the portion its name, Parashat HaChodesh, which means "the Portion of [the Torah which discusses] the Month."

  1. What it means is that what they are saying will happen to Israel will be happening to them; they cursed Israel and thus H' will take care of it and that will be their end together with the end of the Erev Rav, who because of the Erev Rav, the Jews paid a horrible price throughout the 'State's' history by enabling the terrorism by the pere adam and the immorality the Erev Rav are responsible for. Geulah is around the corner.
