Alphabetical Parsha Challenge: פרשת שמיני

א Aharon’s two eldest sons were killed because they brought this before Hashem:
ב With what words does Moshe comfort Aharon after the death of Aharon’s two sons?
ג This animal chews its cud, but does not have split hooves:
ד What did Aharon throw on the מזבח, all around?
ה What does Hashem command us to do, "...כי קדוש אני"?
ו This phrase, expressing Aharon’s reaction to the death of his two sons, shows his own greatness.
ז This item only becomes טמא (by a carcass falling on it) if it has first come in contact with water or other liquid.
ח This animal has split hooves but does not chew its cud:
ט What is the halakha for one who touches the carcass of an animal that is not considered kosher?
י Immediately after the death of two of Aharon sons, Aharon and his remaining 2 sons are warned about drinking what, when they are working in the אהל מועד?
כ We are prohibited from eating any flying creeping creatures that walk on four legs.  The exceptions are those which have ________ above their legs; some types of these creatures may be eaten.
ל This phrase comes up twice in our parsha, once in reference to kohanim, and once in reference to anyone, in relation to טמא and טהור.
מ Which two סימנים do animals need in order to be kosher?
נ The name of one of Aharon’s two sons who were killed:
ס One of the סימנים that kosher fish need:
ע We are not given סימני כשרות for this category of wildlife; rather we are told what we can not eat.
פ This part of a טהור animal must be split:
צ This is one of the animals in the category of those that creep on the ground, the whole category of which is טמא.
ק The second סימן that kosher fish need:
ר Aharon and his 2 remaining sons were not allowed to let this grow wild as any other mourner would do, because they were in the middle of the inauguration of the Mishkan.
ש On which day to the ימי המלואים do the events in this parsha occur?
ת This object must be smashed if the carcass of a טמא animal falls on it (since it was made of earthenware and could not be purified):
