Summary of Today's Chumash

The seventh aliyah discusses endowments of a field to the temple.

The money of all these endowments was used for repairs to the Bais Hamikdash, may it be speedily rebuilt in our days, Amen

The aliyah ends with the tithe of animals, where every tenth newborn animal is to be brought as a sacrifice.

This is the conclusion of Sefer Vayikra, which began with parshas Vayikra several weeks ago. In that parsha G-d called Moshe to the Mishkan for the first time after it was built and began the installation of the priests and the laws of their service in the Mishkan. This book of the Torah is also known as Toras Kohanim (Law of the Kohanim) because most of the laws that we've seen over the last few weeks have been about the Kohanim either directly or indirectly.
