Parsha Perspectives for Today (Kedoshim, 5782) - Be Chashuv

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Living with Emunah - Rabbi Efrem Goldberg’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

full of mitzvos it is a rich parsha it has an incredible list of litany of mitzvos and between man and man as well and trying to make sense of the order and the organization and the chronology of these mitzvoths is a big exercise in its own right but we begin with the opening words upon which we could spend not one hour of any partial class we could spend the rest of the day the rest of the week the rest of our lives of the more god spoke to moshe that bear i'll call it does bernie say i'll speak to the entire gathering of the jewish people an unusual description we see it elsewhere a das ben israel not just bene israel but adas pena israel these instructions were given in front of everybody collectively this was a message that was important to in part not second or third hand and not individually but collectively to communicate and to get across on a communal level why because rove goofy torah to lulu the principles of values the core of torah is dependent on understanding this mission and this mandate that is quite an introduction so everybody was brought together big town hall meeting a community event why so that moshe could tell them kiddosham to you you need to be holy what does that mean tell them kiddoshim to you be holy hashem why should you be holy because there's nothing sweeter than the sounds of children so it's children on the playground i don't know if it's being picked up those listening online but it's sweet sounds sweet sounds of children so we should be happy so what is that message that goofy that everything depends on the message of kedosham to you be holy good what is holy this permeates our entire religious experience
