Parashat Acharei Mot - Kedoshim 5785 | What Does it Mean to be Holy?

Parashat Acharei Mot opens with the tragic story of Nadav and Avihu, whose yearning for God was too intense for this world. But yet Parashat Kedoshim begins with a call to holiness, insisting that we can indeed experience Godliness in this world: "You shall be holy, for I, Hashem your God, am holy." So just what does it really mean to be holy? The two Torah portions of Acharei Mot and Kedoshim (Leviticus 16 : 1 - 20 : 27) are read on Shabbat, 12 Iyar 5785 - May 10, 2025 Lovingly Recorded in Ora Studios, Jerusalem Israel _________ Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Please support the work of Jerusalem Lights, Inc., a USA recognized 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit organization to enable these productions to continue and grow: PayPal: infojerusalemlights@gmail.com or: https://paypal.me/JerusalemLights?locale.x=en_US In the USA: Jerusalem Lights Inc.
