Parashat Emor 5786 | The Bread that Never Grows Old

In Parashat Emor, the Torah introduces one of the most unusual services of the Holy Temple: the lechem hapanim, the Showbread — twelve specially baked loaves that are 'placed before God' each week, remaining warm and fresh from Shabbat to Shabbat. What was the purpose of this bread? Why was it placed 'before God' and what does it mean for us today? The Torah portion of Emor ( Leviticus 21 : 1 - 24 : 23 ) is read on Shabbat, 15 Iyar 5786 - May 2, 2026 Original music composed and performed by David Schommer and Dave Eggar Lovingly Recorded in Ora Studios, Jerusalem Israel _________ Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Join our new WhatsApp channel! https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbDNanG3QxRsAHcafA45 Rabbi Chaim Richman's 'Jerusalem Lights', a non-profit educational organization, shares the wisdom of Torah teachings with all sincere spiritual seekers, emphasizing the ennoblement of the human spirit, the brotherhood of mankind, and the nurturing and development of each individual’s personal faith and relationship with the Creator.
