Shemini (Lev. 9–11) contains two main topics: the elaborate sacrificial rites performed on the eighth day of the dedication of the Tabernacle, and the laws regarding kosher and nonkosher animals.

SHIKHA is a name inspired by the Bangla term, “shisukekhawano,” which means infant and young child feeding. The project is implemented by FHI 360 and funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development under the Feed the Future initiative. BRAC, another project partner, implements community-level activities.

The project focuses on changing feeding practice behaviors through five core interventions: • Home visits: Nutrition workers record every pregnancy in the community in a registry and follow up with mothers until their children are 2 years old, for a total of 16 home visits ― four visits during pregnancy and 12 after the child is born. • Mobilization: Project staff engage fathers of children under 2 and doctors to encourage good infant and young child feeding behavior in the community. • Health forums: Community meetings, comprised of pregnant women, mothers of children under 2, mothers-in-law and adolescent girls, are held to discuss issues about health and hygiene practices in the community. • Antenatal and postnatal visits: Pregnant women and lactating mothers receive medical care and counseling from community health workers. • Mass media and communication campaign: Seven advertisements, which address specific barriers to good infant and young child feeding practices, appear on national television channels.

FHI 360 works in partnership with Asiatic Marketing and Communications Limited to design and execute media campaigns in 1,351 villages in project sub-districts that otherwise lack access to media. SHIKHA engages 4,830 community volunteers, 395 community health workers and 667 nutrition workers through BRAC and trains them in maternal nutrition and infant and young child feeding. The project is partnering with, Bangladesh to conduct household surveys at three intervals: December 2013, January 2015 and January 2016. The surveys will be used to assess progress on knowledge and practice level indicators for maternal nutrition and infant and young child feeding among pregnant women and mothers of children under 2.

The shock is immense. For several weeks and many chapters – the longest prelude in the Torah – we have read of the preparations for the moment at which God would bring His presence to rest in the midst of the people. Five parshiyot ( Terumah, Tetzaveh, Ki Tissa, Vayakhel and Pekudei) describe the instructions for building the sanctuary. Two ( Vayikra, Tzav) detail the sacrificial offerings to be brought there. All is now ready. For seven days the priests (Aaron and his sons) are consecrated into office. Now comes the eighth day when the service of the mishkan will begin.

The entire people have played their part in constructing what will become the visible home of the Divine presence on earth. With a simple, moving verse the drama reaches its climax: “Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of Meeting and when they came out, they blessed the people. God’s glory was then revealed to all the people” (9: 23). Just as we think the narrative has reached closure, a terrifying scene takes place: Aaron’s sons, Nadav and Avihu, took their censers, put fire into them and added incense; and they offered unauthorized fire before God, which He had not instructed them to offer. Fire came forth from before God, and it consumed them so that they died before God. Moses then said to Aaron: “This is what God spoke of when he said: Among those who approach Me I will show myself holy; in the sight of all the people I will be honoured.” (10:1-3) Celebration turned to tragedy. The two eldest sons of Aaron die.
