About this episode
Our Chapter depicts Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh and Chagim (Jewish Holidays) as opportunities for both the "Nasi" and the common people to gain access to the (outer courtyard of the) Temple, and to bow before God. On these days the Eastern (inner) gate is deliberatly opened and left open all day. Clearly a statement is being made. These days are moments of spiritual opportunity.
