PARALLEL PARASHA EMOR –SANCTIFYING HASHEM’S NAME THROUGH BEHAVIOR

PARALLEL PARASHA EMOR –SANCTIFYING HASHEM’S NAME THROUGH BEHAVIOR

By Evelyn Haies, ©April 24 2014

They say not to embarrass the Jew by reporting his misdemeanors

However, the Holy Tanach is the full of stories of the schemers

The tellers of false tales, thieves, murderers, all that is  gory

To remind His people to be righteous; that misdeeds are not glorious.

Many say to hide the evil amongst us so as not to shame His people

However, the Holy Book is a document of evil and libel

The Cains, the Ishmaels, the Esaus are guilty of killing, stealing, misdoing

The selling of Josef reminds His people of the pain  of pursuing evil.

Hashem has given a protocol for deeds and actions.

However, those off the derech must repent or suffer the ramifications

Infractions by the cohanim are the most unholy, are tumah

Misactions by all are a desecration of Gd’s name and cause trauma,

The Commandments are a roadmap for living

And self criticism is a means of teaching His directions

Corruption, Disruption, misgiving lead to an eruption from defection

Remember, not abiding magnifies floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, mudslides

Let us criticize, demonize, punish to prevent the demented

Let us praise those who raise the nation to apprehend those who disregard His laws

Let us praise those who raise their children to keep the laws as He intended

Remember, there are special days for counting and appraising.

As we count the Omer keep a record to welcome Shavous

There must be restriction, depiction, conviction, eviction

There must be alleviation, revelation, elevation

Remember there is wrong, and there must be a righting of wrongs.

The Jew has a responsibility to elevate Gd

However, disregard for HaShem, one’s fellow man, the laws and the lessons

Is because of the failure to blame, disdain, shame and correct the derelict

Teshuva is the selection for rectification; only with disclosure can there be reclamation
