"Be Holy and Love Everyone as yourself / V'ahavta L'reyacha Kamocha! (LEV 19:18)"
Please join me as we sing this Nigun (click for words and music) I wrote for der Freylekher Shabes This Friday May 1st, See info below.. These are some of our teachings from the Torah parsha of the week in Kedoshim. The medieval Jewish mystic, Rabbi Isaac Luria (known as the ARI) is said to have recited "Hareini m'kabeyl...(LEV 19:18)" before praying each day and many follow his Kavannah /Intention to join with all humans by reciting this line before praying. In Leviticus 19:2; 20:7; 20:26, we are also repeatedly asked by God to "be holy, for I, Adonai your God, am holy") what better way to be holy than to celebrate loving everyone?
