Ramban on Parshat Emor - Mikraei Kodesh
Our focus today is Parashat HaMoadot - the section about the festivals. Ramban asks what does “mikraei kodesh” mean? These are, quite literally, callings of holiness -holy convocations. We look at the passage in Nehemya about commemorating the day we know today as Rosh Hashana - the people are instructed to eat, drink sweet drinks, and be happy.
We consider: how does one sanctify a day?
