PARASHA POETRY KEDOSHIM : Holiness, Moral Correctness by Evelyn Haies, © May 9, 2016 author of the Plague Series because hearts were softened to accept the unacceptable "You shall be Holy, for I am Holy, HASHEM, your GOD." "The sanctity of Eretz Yisrael cannot tolerate immorality." Emulating the Creator is the foundation for life Respecting the commandments is a tool against strife. Service to HASHEM stops ensnarement by the snake Following the masses is a major mistake. Idols have no power nor value Perversion of justice is wrong to pursue Honoring one's parents is affirming one's inheritance Sitting in their chair is an improper circumstance. Respect and service are a validating manner Because parents are partners and relay HASHEM'S banner. "The more sacred something is the bigger the infraction." Indulging the self is an alienating reaction. The Sabbath is a holy day for blessing and resting To appreciate creation and attesting To the miracles of goodness and the wonderful. One must adhere to HIS rules and be careful To observe the laws and perform with conscious intentions To retain the benefits of HIS holy conventions Disregarding HIS laws and not giving them priority Defiles, substituting for the guile of a misguiding majority. Timely offerings with proper intent Gifts to the poor, honest and upright conduct, no resent No gluttony and gossip, bystanding and lies Assimilation is an affront to HASHEM whose perfection it nullifies HIS people are advised to avoid spiritual contamination Perversion of justice is an abomination , No adultery, idol worship; mixed mating, fibers or seeds No piercing of flesh, cropping edges of beard, forbidden foods, misdeeds Lest you shall be scattered and exiled for misleading and misled You shall not stand aside when your brother's blood is shed No incest, bestiality, child sacrifice All the infractions cost a horrific price Expulsion, even death are the result of the degradation Observation of ordinances and decrees leads to re-emancipation "The sanctity of Eretz Yisrael cannot tolerate immorality." Emulating HASHEM, parents, the Sabbath merit HIS heavenly hospitality |
