Let's begin.

Their grain offering shall be fine flour mixed with oil.

three-tenths of a measure for the bull, two-tenths for the one ram, and one-tenth for each of the seven lambs, and one male goat as a sin offering, besides the sin offering of atonement, and the regular daily burnt offering and its grain offering, and their drink offerings.

Thank you for listening.
Jonathan LiviHOST
Now the next part is the Haftarah of Parashat Parah.
Jonathan LiviHOST
Now why would the next part be the Haftarah of Parashat Parah? What do we discuss on the Maftir of Parah? A para-adumah.
Jonathan LiviHOST
What is the para-adumah used for? To purify people that have been in contact with the dead so that they could come into the Beit HaMikdash, wherever they are allowed to go, right? That's why you need the ashes of the para-adumah.
Jonathan LiviHOST
There's a whole discussion nowadays about going up to Har Abayit because we do not have a para-adumah.
Marcus RubensteinHOST
So unfortunately, we're not able to offer these goats anymore because the temple is destroyed.
Marcus RubensteinHOST
The sages instituted that we read in the portion of Achrimot about the goats and the bull, and that for the Maftir, we read about the additional offering of the day.
Marcus RubensteinHOST
This is the Torah reading on Yom Kippur.
Marcus RubensteinHOST
They also instituted that we recount the order of the temple service according to its proper procedure and laws.
Lenny GoldbergHOST
But for Abraham, what does the verse say? "Vayarad davar me'od." He was very upset about it, until Hashem told him, "Would you please listen to Sarah?" But getting back to that Torah scroll, Rosh Hashanah, you're reading the Torah readings which are in the Book of Genesis.
Lenny GoldbergHOST
But then you get to the Maftir, right? That's the last Aliyah.
Lenny GoldbergHOST
And that's in the Book of Numbers towards the end.
Lenny GoldbergHOST
And so you have to roll all the way from Genesis to Numbers, 'cause you only have one Sefer Torah, and they're rolling, and they're rolling the scroll.
Aryeh WolbeHOST
Additionally, this coming Shabbos, which is the Shabbos that is between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, it's called Shabbos Shuvah because of the... because of the prophets that we read, which is, So we call this Shabbos Shuvah.
Aryeh WolbeHOST
A distinguished person should be called up to the Torah for that Maftir reading.
Aryeh WolbeHOST
It is customary not to recite Kiddush Levana, which is the blessing for the new moon, until Motzai Yom Kippur, until the end of Yom Kippur, because then people are happy about the atonement that they have attained on Yom Kippur, and they'll be dancing in front of the moon and celebrating the moon more appropriately.
Aryeh WolbeHOST
While previously, before Yom Kippur, we were anxious about the heavenly judgment.
PhilipUNKNOWN
Baruch atoronai noten atorah.
DavidHOST
And this week we're reading a special reading for Rosh Hashanah from Genesis 21, 1 through 34, and then also Numbers 29, 1 through 6 as the Maftir.
DavidHOST
From Genesis 29, beginning with verse 1, we read in Hebrew.
DavidHOST
V'adonai pechad et serah ka'asher amor v'ayah as Adonai leserah ka'asher diber v'atahar v'talad serah la'avraham ben lizkunayv l'moed asher d'ber otoh Elohim v'ichra avraham et shem beno hanolad lo asher yalda lo serah yitzchak Then Adonai visited Sarah just as he had said.
Jonathan LiviHOST
two things.
Jonathan LiviHOST
If you look up to the Maftir of the previous Parashah, Right? It goes on the first letter.
Jonathan LiviHOST
It goes on the first of the two.
Jonathan LiviHOST
So, You see what I'm saying? I'm saying that's where the Ta'am works.
Hershel SchachterGUEST
In Shilchan Aruch, they have people misread the Shilchan Aruch.
Hershel SchachterGUEST
It says that one who's in Abelis should always get Maftir.
Hershel SchachterGUEST
because, different explanations why, either because Mafti have many more bracha, so it'll be a bigger skuz for the niftar, or because, I accept whatever HaKadosh Baruch Hu gives me, like he spoke before, we think it's l'ro, really it's l'toifa, so, so the posh, the pshat, and the ramah is, whenever it's his turn to get an aliyah, the Gabbai, instead of giving him a shlishi or a hamishi or whatever, he should give him after, but not, so some misunderstood the Ramon, Shulchanach, they thought, the one is an Abel, he's a B'ez Chodesh, he has to hop from one shul to the other, every week he has to get maftah.
Hershel SchachterGUEST
That's not what it means, he should go, he gets maftah every single week, it means, when it's his turn to get an aliyah, once a month, or whatever, depending how many people come to shul, instead of giving him some other aliyah, they should give him maftah.
Yosef KatzmanHOST
Even though we could break it up, usually shvi is a larger portion than mafti.
Yosef KatzmanHOST
But in this case, we are doing Shvi and Maftir the same length.
Yosef KatzmanHOST
When I was in Mezrit, I heard from my teacher, from my master, the Magid of Mezrit, in the name of his teacher, the Balshamtev.
Yosef KatzmanHOST
The seventh month, which is the first month of the months of the year, because the cycle of the Jewish calendar starts in this on a monthly cycle.
Chaim WolosowHOST
That seems to be an appropriate thing to read for Rosh Hashanah.
Chaim WolosowHOST
In addition to the Maftir, which we read about, the Korbanes that you brought on Rosh Chodesh, one would expect the creation of the world.
Chaim WolosowHOST
We should read about that.
Chaim WolosowHOST
But no, we don't read that.
