PARSHAH IN A NUTSHELL
Leviticus 19:1–20:27
The name of the Parshah, "Kedoshim," means "holy [ones]" and it is found in Leviticus 19:2.

The Parshah of Kedoshim begins with the statement: "You shall be holy, for I, the L‑rd your G‑d, am holy." This is followed by dozens of mitzvot (divine commandments) through which the Jew sanctifies him- or herself and relates to the holiness of G‑d.

These include: the prohibition against idolatry, the mitzvah of charity, the principle of equality before the law, Shabbat, sexual morality, honesty in business, honor and awe of one's parents, and the sacredness of life.

Also in Kedoshim is the dictum which the great sage Rabbi Akiva called a cardinal principle of Torah, and of which Hillel said, "This is the entire Torah, the rest is commentary"—"Love your fellow as yourself."


HAFTORAH IN A NUTSHELL
Ezekiel 20:2-20.

This week's haftorah mentions G‑d's repeated enjoinders to observe the commandments, keep the Shabbat and eschew idol worship; reflective of this week's Torah portion, which discusses many commandments, including the obligation to sanctify the Shabbat and reject idolatry.

The prophet Ezekiel transmit G‑d's message, reminding the Jews how He chose them as His nation, how He took them out of Egypt and promised to take them to the Holy Land. In Egypt, G‑d dispatched a prophet who exhorted the Jews to abandon their idols, yet they did not do so. He then gave them laws and statutes, including that of the observance of Shabbat as a sign between Him and His people. "But the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness; they walked not in My statutes, and they despised My ordinances, which, if a man keep, he will live through them, and My Sabbaths they desecrated exceedingly."

The prophet goes on to mention G‑d's punishment of the Jews in the desert, namely that they did not enter the Holy Land. He then admonishes the children not to follow their fathers' ways, but to observe the laws and to sanctify the Shabbat.


SAGES ON THE PARSHAH

Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them: You shall be holy . . . (19:2)

The easiest thing is to hide from the world and its follies, seclude oneself in a room and be a holy hermit. What the Torah desires, however, is that a person should be part and parcel of "all the congregation of the children of Israel"—and be holy.

(Alshich)

Shabbos Tzetl: Acharei

(Melbourne Australia)

Good Shabbos!

ZICHRON YAAKOV
PARSHAH IN A NUTSHELL
Leviticus 16:1–18:30
The name of the Parshah, "Acharei Mot," means "after the death of" and it is found in Leviticus 16:1.

Following the deaths of Nadav and Avihu, G‑d warns against unauthorized entry "into the holy." Only one person, the kohen gadol ("high priest"), may, but once a year, on Yom Kippur, enter the innermost chamber in the Sanctuary to offer the sacred ketoret to G‑d.

Another feature of the Day of Atonement service is the casting of lots over two goats, to determine which should be offered to G‑d and which should be dispatched to carry off the sins of Israel to the wilderness.

The Parshah of Acharei also warns against bringing korbanot (animal or meal offerings) anywhere but in the Holy Temple, forbids the consumption of blood, and details the laws prohibiting incest and other deviant sexual relations.


HAFTORAH IN A NUTSHELL
Amos 9:7-15.

This week's haftorah foretells the exiles and punishments that will befall the Jews because they strayed after the ways of the heathens — behavior that this week's Torah reading proscribes.

The prophet Amos delivers G‑d's message, reminding the people of G‑d's kindness to them — taking them out of Egypt and singling them out as His chosen nation. Nevertheless, because of their misdeeds, G‑d will destroy the Northern Kingdom of Israel; but will not completely destroy the house of Jacob. The Jews will be scattered amongst the nations, but eventually they will return to their land — on the day of the redemption. G‑d will then reinstall the House of David to its former glory and there shall be peace and abundance upon the land.

The haftorah ends with G‑d's promise: "And I will return the captivity of My people Israel, and they shall rebuild desolate cities and inhabit [them], and they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine, and they shall make gardens and eat their produce. And I will plant them on their land, and they shall no longer be uprooted from upon their land, that I have given them, said the L-rd your G‑d."


SAGES ON THE PARSHAH

For on this day, He shall atone for you (16:30)

On Yom Kippur, the day itself atones . . . as it is written, "For on this day . . . shall atone for you."

(Maimonides)

Needing help with finding a doctor asap

I am trying to find a doctor who does home visits for elderly patients at home and will pay if needed.  

The current doctor is not able to do home visits and is busy with clients.

I need someone who can do the standard doctor care such as checking the pulse, blood pressure check, etc as my mother is housebound. 

Please advise asap on this matter.

thanking you
