ParshaPix Explanations

ParshaPix

 

EXPLANATIONS
Kohen Gadol and two identical goats, over which lots are drawn (coin flip).

Shabbat candles are reminder to keep the Shabbat, which is attached to Reverence for parents and to Reverence for the Mikdash.

B’samim is for Havdala, not from Shabbat to Chol but between kosher and non-kosher animals and between us and other nations - mentioned at the end of the sedra. [Some hold that this IS the source of the mitzva of havdala on Motza"Sh.]

Mickey Mouse in his famous role as the Sorcerer’s Apprentice represents the prohibitions of divination, omens, and other “black arts”. (No offense, Mickey)

The heart in the Torah is a pictogram for Love thy fellow being a great Torah rule.

Lifesaver is for the mitzva not to stand by idly while someone is in danger.

Grapes and wheat refer to many agricultural mitzvot in the sedra - PE’AH, LEKET, and others.

Thief is various prohibitions related to theft.

The camel with the monkey-head is a reminder of the prohibition of cross breeding animals.

Scales of justice knocked over are for the prohibitions related to perverting justice.

The scale is weighing a 1 kilo weight, but reads less than one. Either the weight is off or the scale is. Whichever, that would be ASUR, to use false weights and measures or even to possess them.

Razor blade for the prohibition of shaving one’s face with one.

The first three trees with fruit stand for ORLA, then the fourth year has an asterisk - the fruit is KADOSH. 5th year’s fruit is to eat.

Picture is of the actor Herve Villechaize who played the character Tattoo on Fantasy Island - “De plane, boss, de plane”. Here he reminds us of the prohibition of tattooing.

At the top of the ParshaPix is the name of the month IYAR, presented in a way that it represents two special dates in the month: ALEF-YUD is Eretz Yisrael, reminding us of Yom HaAtzmaut, 5 Iyar (or the 6th, this year; or the 3rd or 4th in other years), and YUD-REISH is for Yerushalayim, as in Yom Yerushalayim, the 28th of the month.

And some Unexplaineds

This is incredible. I had no idea this is what these images represented.  Are these widely used or something just pictured in books?
