Devash is a weekly parashah magazine that makes Torah learning sweet.

Devash is designed for kids ages 7 and up to read independently, or together with families and teachers.
CONTENTS
  • Midrash / מִדְרָשׁ
  1. What does it mean to be purified 'לִפְנֵי ה (lifnei Hashem, before God)?
  2. Who is the Torah for?
  3. In the absence of the Beit HaMikdash, there is no way for any person to become fully tahor. Does that mean we are further away from God now?
  4. A core part of the Yom Kippur service involves two goats. What do these goats represent?
  • Commentary / פַּרְשָׁנוּת
  1. The parashah tells us to “Va-hai bahem” literally meaning “and live in them.” But what does that actually mean?!
  2. Usually, the kohen gadol wears additional clothing, which is fancier and full of gold. Why plain linen on Yom Kippur?
