One of the ways we show honor to a Kohen is by giving him the 1st aliya at Torah readings. The Kohen cannot forgo this honor nor be forced to relinquish it. He may be asked to step out of the room to allow for others to be called, but this may infringe on his honor. If no Kohen is present, there are 3 opinions: 1) The Levi’s status derives from his service & connection to the Kohen, so if the Kohen is absent the Levi should not be called, for some may then erroneously think he is a Kohen. But he should also not be given subsequent aliyot either, because since he does have a certain special kedusha he shouldn’t go after a Yisrael. 2) Once there is no Kohen, anyone can get the 1st aliya, be it a Levi or a Yisrael. 3) A Levi takes precedence, unless there is a greater talmid chacham present. Sefardim follow the first opinion; Ashkenazim follow the second one. In any case, the gabbai announces that this aliya is being given "bim’kom Kohen," so that the oleh is not mistaken for a Kohen.

    "Tzniut vs. Cheap Attention"

    Explaining Tzni'ut in a Modern Appealing Way of Rav Kook

    Tzni'ut or humility has a bad "rap" for it goes against many "givens" of the western world. Arrogant people who depend on the approval or (often cheap) attention of others, rather than working on their inner selves, actually lose their own self, and inside feel emptiness. Humility is externally mistaken for unhappiness, just as arrogance is mistaken for happiness. This class is a must for parents and educators, especially of teenage girls, but really for everyone.

    Emor

    "TO LIFE, TO LIFE 'LECHA'IM' "- Parshat Emor

    Rav Kook innovatively explains why Kohanim are forbidden to come in contact with death and that Kabbalists say that all women are like Kohanim- for the highest level in Judaism is life. This has many interesting ramifications!

    "Stuck Up"- Too High & Mighty for His Own Good

    Even within arrogance there are different levels. Rav Kook explains the logical connection the Talmud makes between lack of humility, laziness and exile.

    Achrei Mot

    "FIRST 'THE NATIONS WILL SAY: 'G-D DID GREAT FOR [ISRAEL]' "

    We don't always understand and sometimes Israel pays a price for being the closest nation to Hashem, but that is essentially part of our role. Rav Kook explains just like the prophets often suffered for saying uncomfortable G-dly messages, similarly Am Yisrael historically had to pay the prices as "the conscience of mankind", and the way Hashem is seen to the world. Recently, more and more gentile leaders are beginning to point out the unique and "Chosen" role of Israel, including a game-changing article by an editor of a leading British paper.

    Tazria

    "NOT ALL HATE IS CREATED EQUAL"- p. Tazria-Metzora

    The parsha teaches the tragedy of being alone and separate, but our 2,000 year galut is exactly that. Because of the universality of anti-Semitism, we unfortunately sometimes tend to make simplistic associations, & lump all this hatred together, as if it's the same. Yes, Iran hates us like the Nazis did, but today's war on all accounts is totally different, and we must thank G-d on Yom HaAtzma'ut for all those differences.
