Shabbat of the Red Heifer 🕍

Shabbat Parah for Hebrew Year 5281 began on Friday, 11 March 1521 and ended on Saturday, 12 March 1521. This corresponds to Parashat Vayakhel-Pekudei.

Shabbat Parah (“Sabbath [of the] red heifer” שבת פרה) takes place on the Shabbat before Shabbat HaChodesh, in preparation for Passover. Numbers 19:1-22 describes the parah adumah (“red heifer”) in the Jewish temple as part of the manner in which the kohanim and the Jewish people purified themselves so that they would be ready (“pure”) to sacrifice the korban Pesach.
