PARALLEL PARASHA ACHAREI

    GETTING THE CHOMETZ OUT BY SEEKING FORGIVENESS AND RIGHTING WRONGS

 What does Pesach have to do with Yom Kippur?

What does the holiday of freedom have to do with the Day of Atonement?

Confession, Repentance, Atonement

There was contamination in Mitzrayim;

False gods sent man off the derech;

Involved in the forbidden, doing misdeeds in hiding,

Then out of the Holy land one is sliding

Purity in the name but impurity in the situation

Purity of the land but deviation.

Misinterpreting Hachlachah for personal deceit 

A Breaching from His teachings, and His ways is misguiding.

Misled and misleading brings slavery, calamity, tragedy

Slavery is still in place when there is insecurity in reactions

Following mis-rulers, the majority,

Inappropriate authority

Lack of self control is without reason

Hands tied, feet chained, manners nullified

Heart sad, mind blinded, midos annulled.

Atonement requires cleansing, mending, emancipation, rectification, actualization of good.  

Self-Instillment is an installment for correction,

with the laws of Hashem, the commandments, the decrees.

What does Pesach have to do with Yom Kippur?

Why is there freedom when there is exodus?

When the sins are confessed, tossed at all cost

Mezora,  Teshuva, Replacement  of slavery with Service for Hashem.

When goodness is the personification, no longer is one lost.

Service to Hashem reserves guela for His nation, a light for all.
