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

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

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.
