CLD #584

For the Ilui Neshama of Eliyahu ben Norma and Avraham ben Ester ZT’L.

Because Hashem is obviously perfect, He has qualities that are complete in all ways and aspects. Therefore when it says in one of the parshiyot that we heard during Shabbat “Kedoshim Tihiyu Ki Kadosh Ani,” Hashem is really saying make sure you are ONE HUNDRED PERCENT holy. Be Holy because I am Holy.

If Hashem is complete in everyway obivously He wants us to be completely holy. This is why on this Pasuk it makes sense that the Ramban is so stringent on what it means to be holy. The Ramban says being holy is being stringent, serious and persistent in regards to the Mitzvot that we are allowed to do on a Torah level. Meaning one should not be having a barbeque all day sleeping with his wives and “taking advantage” of Hashem’s gifts. This also fits with Rashi who says in every place of holiness you will find many boundaries of purity.

For example, when someone wants to live real a life of Torah, they must do it 110%. When there is a gate marking the boundary between two fields there is no such thing as one half of your body in one side and the other in another. When someone wants to go into Torah they must do it with their entire mind, body, soul and emotions; making sure nothing is in their way.

This is why we must be true to ourselves and say “If I want to live a life of truth there are no games involved.”

B’H we should have the gift from Hashem to open our eyes to see the difference between the confusing messages of society to stur us away from Torah and Ma’asim Tovim (good deeds).

SHAVUA TOV!
