Parashat Achrei Mot-Kedoshim – Weekly Torah Portion
Parashat Achrei Mot-Kedoshim covers key aspects of ritual, holiness, and ethics at the heart of the Book of Leviticus. Beginning with the laws of Yom Kippur and the entry of the High Priest into the Holy of Holies, the portion transitions into regulations regarding sacrifices, prohibitions against idolatrous practices, and laws of sexual conduct. 'Kedoshim' introduces the foundational call to 'be holy,' leading into a sweeping code of ethical and ritual obligations given to the Israelites. The parasha closes with warnings and consequences concerning the sanctity of the Land and the people. Each day’s aliyah explores a distinct aspect of communal and individual holiness.
