Yenta had to call in the doctor to check her husband Lionel. He didn’t seem to be at all well.
After the doctor had examined Lionel, he said to Yenta, "Your husband is very exhausted and fatigued and needs a lot of peace and quiet. If you want to help him recover, please take one tranquilliser, four times per day."

Why Do All Rabbi's Wear Glasses?

Question:

Why do all rabbis seem to wear glasses? Obviously you do a lot of reading and studying Torah, which must strain your eyes. But I am sure there is some deeper significance to the fact that all rabbis and their students seem to be bearded and bespectacled...

Answer:

There is a great advantage in always wearing a hat, a beard and glasses. Your picture can never be defaced. No one can squiggle anything on it, because you've left nothing for them to add.

But you're right, there must be something significant about rabbis wearing glasses. Maybe it's this.

Wearing glasses doesn't actually change anything. If you look at a scene without your glasses, and then look at the very same scene with your glasses on, it is exactly the same scene. Nothing has been added. The scene hasn't changed, but your view of it has changed completely.

Without glasses the world is all fuzzy and blurred. You don't recognise people, you can't read signs, and there are many obstacles that you may bump into on your way, simply because you didn't see them coming.

Then you put on your glasses, and a new world opens up to you. Everything's clear, you recognise things for what they are, and you foresee the bumps and obstacles before you stumble upon them. It was all there before, but now you have vision and perspective, now you can see it.

The Torah is like a pair of glasses. Its divine wisdom gives us clarity of vision. It develops our ability to identify good and evil, and differentiate between truth and falsehood. It teaches us to recognise the good in people, even when that good is not so apparent. And it sensitises us to the subtleties of life, to see beyond the superficial and find deeper meaning in our everyday experiences, to read the signs that point us in the right direction, to avoid moral pitfalls and behold the beauty of the world around us.

The Torah student lives in the same world as everybody else. He faces the same challenges, suffers from the same weaknesses, experiences the same pain and is plagued by the same questions. The Torah does not provide some magical relief from the vicissitudes of life. But it does provide perspective and clarity, direction and inspiration, which allow us to see those challenges in a new light, and face them with a deeper resolve.

Perhaps that's why students of Torah end up wearing glasses. Their vision is sharpened as they wear spiritual spectacles. Until you try them on, you don't know what you're missing.

G-d instructs Moses to command Aaron and his sons regarding their duties and rights as Kohanim ("priests") who offer the korbanot (animal and meal offerings) in the Sanctuary.

The fire on the Altar must be kept burning at all times. In it are burned the wholly consumed Ascending Offering; veins of fat from the Peace, Sin, and Guilt Offerings; and the "handful" separated from the Meal Offering.

The Kohanim eat the meat of the Sin and Guilt Offerings and the remainder of the Meal Offering. The Peace Offering is eaten by the one who brought it, except for specified portions given to the Kohen. The holy meat of the offerings must be eaten by ritually pure persons, in their designated holy place, and within their specified time.

Aaron and his sons remain within the Sanctuary compound for seven days, during which Moses initiates them into the priesthood.

Di-s manda Moshe a transmitir a Aharón y sus hijos sobre sus obligaciones y derechos como Kohaním (sacerdotes) que ofrecen Korbanot (ofrendas animales y vegetales) en el Santuario.

El fuego en el Altar siempre tiene que estar encendido. En el mismo son quemadas completamente las Ofrendas de Elevación; grasas de las ofrendas de Paz, Pecado y Culpa; y el “puñado” separado de las Ofrendas Vegetales.

Los Kohaním comen la carne de las ofrendas de Pecado y Culpa y los restos de las Ofrendas Vegetales. La Ofrenda de Paz es comida por aquél que la trae, excepto por las partes específicas que son entregadas al Kohen. La carne sagrada de las ofrendas es comida por personas ritualmente puras, en su lugar santo designado y dentro del período de tiempo especificado.

Aharon y sus hijos se quedan dentro del recinto del Santuario por siete días, durante los cuales Moshe os inicia en el sacerdocio.
