I am delighted to greet everyone who joins us this morning. Welcome to our wonderful learning community. Today we pay tribute to the memory of a special Machalnick and friend. Today we study a selection of two biblical portions. In Parashat Kedoshim (the 2nd half of the double parsha), we examine rituals as well as some essential commandments that regulate relationships. In addition, the Torah warns us not to pursue prohibited sexual and pagan practices.

Our study of these verses offers much reflection and insight for “modern” people, repeating timeless ideas for everyone.
Let us ask the question:
What does holiness mean today?
