The "Nasi"
For Nissan 1-13
Each of the first twelve days of Nissan, one of the tribal leaders, the "Nasi," offered inaugural sacrifices in the Tabernacle. We recite the section which describes the sacrifices of that day's Nasi. On the 13th of Nissan we read about the kindling of the Menorah -- the contribution of the Tribe of Levi.
