 A Summary of the Parashah



God instructs Moses regarding the 


procedures for the Day of


 Atonement; sexual prohibitions


  are then listed.




The Lord spoke to Moses after the


 death of the two sons of Aaron


who died when they drew too close to the 


presence of the Lord. God said, "Tell


 our brother Aaron that he is not to come at 


will into the Shrine behind the curtain


, in front of the cover that is upon the ark. Instead,


 Aaron shall only enter the holy


 Shrine when he is clean and dressed in


 his sacred garments. He shall take


 animal offerings to make atonement for


 himself and his household. He shall purge


 he Shrine of the uncleanness and transgression


of the Israelites, whatever their 


sins; and he shall do the same for




the Tent of Meeting and make it holy




The Second Weekly TORAH Portion



God tells Moses to give the people a series of ethical and ritual laws instructing them in how to be holy.






The Lord has just told Moses to tell the Israelites about the
 law commanding an annual Day of Atonement and sexual prohibitions
. The Lord told Moses, Speak to the whole Israelite community and say to them:
You shall be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy. You shall each
 revere your mother and your father, and keep My Sabbaths
. Do not turn to idols or make molten gods for yourselves. I, the Lord, am your God.

As the great flood story begins,


 we learn that Noah was “a


 righteous man; in his generation


 he was above reproach”


Genesis 6:9) and we wonder what


 ind of compliment has 


Noah just been paid. After all, what


 does it mean to be the





most righteous person in a
 


generation


 so wicked as to be


 rowned for the depths of its sin? 


It is a careful comparison to


 be sure, but in the end we know


 only this:


Noah was a


righteous man.
