Torah Commentary
K'doshim for Tweens
"Our treatment of [these] passages will assume that we have much to learn from the Torah, even though we do not accept its authority blindly and without question" (Bamberger in Plaut Revised Edition, 643). Learn more in Torah for Tweens!
K'doshim for Tots
"…Love your fellow [Israelite] as yourself."
-Leviticus 19:18

In this week's double parashah, Acharei Mot/K'doshim, there's a one-sentence reference to the mortal sin of Aaron's sons, Nadab and Abihu, who brought "alien fire" into the Mishkan, which we read about in Parashat Sh'mini two weeks ago (see Leviticus 10:1-7).
K’doshim Tih’yu - You Shall Be Holy
