Torah parsha Emor (אֱמֹר‎) is from Leviticus 21:1–24:23 and Hebrew for “speak,” and is the 31st weekly Torah portion (פָּרָשָׁה‎, parsha) in the annual cycle of Torah readings and instructs us in the purity rules for priests (כֹּהֲנִים‎, Kohanim), as well as recounts the holy days, provides for lights and bread in the sanctuary, and tells the story of a blasphemer and his punishment.
