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
