Don’t Worship Baal!

Hey friends! What's up Chevra?! Did you know there are 51 mitzvot packed into just 64 verses of Parashat Kedoshim? We dive deep into one of the most mitzvah-dense portions in the entire Torah. Parashat Kedoshim contains the essential foundations of our entire tradition, which is why it's read at Hakhel when the king gathers the entire nation. We explore the amazing breadth of these 51 commandments, from being holy and keeping Shabbat to the laws of kilayim (forbidden mixtures), from not cutting the corners of our beards to the prohibition against eating bugs. We discuss the mitzvot between us and Hashem, between us and our fellow Jews, and even between us and ourselves. The shiur covers everything from the mystical pouch of the Shpoler Zeide who brought endless blessing to those in need, to practical halachot about lashon hara, giving proper rebuke, and judging people favorably. We also tackle some fascinating questions about modern applications like looks maxing, cricket protein, and when accidental bugs fall into your smoothie. This parashah truly is a microcosm of the entire Torah, teaching us how to live with kedushah in every aspect of our lives. If this resonates with you,
