begins with the extensive list of the
consequences of a person who engages in
various inappropriate sexual
relationships with the is that come with
these punishments
tells us we have to live lives of
kadusha which is parallel to what we
heard in the end of the previous parasha
in the beginning in of this Torah
reading in akramos and then in
conclusion we are told
we should not mimic the non-jews and
this became an interesting discussion
over the ages does our Jewish dress have
to be distinctive or can it be the same
as the non-jews for other reasons so the
accepted approach like the Marik is that
we can wear suits and ties and
decorative Garb let's say at a
graduation which is for the purpose of
Honor we could also wear lab coats if
you're a doctor or special robes if
you're a judge because we're not trying
to mimic the nachrim for no reason or
for Pagan reasons we're trying to copy
them in the sense that there is a sense
of honor and dignity in this profession
but the core question will always ask
ourselves is why do I act this way why
is my hair cut this way why is my
compartment this way is it because I'm
trying to mimic other cultures so then
that's not a way to live rather it's
about taking the elements from that
culture that describe honor and we
channel that to our kind of Sparkle and
the conclusion is if I have Dalton
it's not just in the safe Recreation the
way that we have physical relationships
with spouses but it's also in the safer
katusha the way that we eat both
elements are things that we have in
common with animals of reproduction and
also food ingestion and these are things
that we can transcend to take to a
higher level in our voters Hashem in all
aspects of life there's a fascinating
beautiful ARA that is quoted in the name
of that describes the end of the possum
that
he enables us to be karosh Vista
likadoshu he calls us to be Hashem we
are a spark of God we are
karosly I separated you I could respond
who says from the amen so they say in
the neighborhood he says
we should be holy we should be
distinctive we should be connected to
our we should be in Oregon we should be
a part of the world we should be part of
society trying to cure cancer and heal
all of the sick and and end homelessness
and all those important Pursuits but we
have to be kotos we have to be somewhat
separate we have to be distinct from
them and if we're not then if we don't
know how to say kiddish then the
they're going to learn how to say
havdala they're going to make sure that
we're going to remember that we are
distinct because a specific identity for
us and we need to maintain that for
ourselves we don't want the to
make Abdullah to remind us that we're
separate as we've seen throughout Jewish
history tragically
