DESCRIPTION:

Shabbat Parah occurs on the Saturday after Purim. It marks the start of the preparations for Passover and is one of the most important Shabbats of the Jewish faith. It is an initiation and purification ritual involving a red heifer (Parah Adumah in Hebrew) in antiquity. Today, specific passages from the Torah are read, coupled with prayer and reflection. In order to participate in Passover, the Torah instructs one must be purified of contamination prior to making the pilgrimage to Jerusalem for the celebration. Through the sprinkling of water over the heifer, one becomes pure.

Rabbis often refer to this as the greatest of mysteries. Purity is attained by the impure in sprinkling water over the cow. However, impurity of the pure is re-introduced in touching its ashes. Only the pure may eat the cow during Passover.

Shabbat begins at sundown on Friday and ends at sundown on Saturday.
