Special Torah supplementary reading for Shabbat Parah: G-d instructs Bnei Israel to offer a group sacrifice of a Red Heifer, completely unblemished and never before used for labor. Its ashes were to be used for purposes of purification. This rite falls in the category of laws called chukim, commandments without any reason or explanation as to their necessity.
