This Kabbalat Shabbat, we come together to celebrate May Day–a celebration of international workers’ rights and solidarity. Our parsha this week, Emor, institutes a day off of work for everyone–the Shabbat. No one shall work on Shabbat, even servants and animals get the day off, even the land. It is a call for complete rest. Our ancient text instituted rights for workers regardless of social status. Come join us and as we celebrate a day of rest, restoration, and call for justice.
