How can we make sense of the laws in Parshat Kedoshim? They seem to deal with such a mix of unrelated topics. Some of them are obviously about moral behavior: Don’t steal, don’t deceive people, leave some of the grain in your field for the poor. But laws about sacrifices also get a lot of space. What do those laws have to do with morality? And what are these different ideas all doing in the same parsha? Rabbi Fohrman argues that not only do these laws belong together... they actually work together to show us what holiness really means.
