So many Mitzvot in this Double Portion - and they ALL point to how to be "holy" TODAY
 
Rabbi Carlebach often said: 
What would we give to know what G-d wants of us THIS MOMENT?
 
How happy the Almighty is when we do his work in this world!
 
And it's written so clearly that it's easy to start:
Just remember the 2 EASIEST MITVOT for today -
 
say before sundown 
"today is the 20th Day of countining the Omer - 2 weeks and 6 days"
 
and TONIGHT after dark say
"today is the 21st Day of countining the Omer - 3 whole weeks"!
 
Join the millions around the world counting UP to the "Torah of Sinai" on Shavuote!
Let's get holy by counting up to holiness!
 
We need to beome a Holy Example to a world - full of
GREEDY nations,  WARRING nations, and some SCARY nations!
 
The Almighty said - the world is composed of many peoples - 
 
Rav Kook wrote nations are not EVIL but  they need to
all learn HOW to be Holy to G-d -  from Israel!
 
This portion called Kedoshim has a lot of rules,
 
but want as Rabbi Carlebach always said:
 
start with a little bit 
a little bit of Torah,
a little bit of shabbos,
a little bit of Holiness...
 
even an hour
and it will be SO SWEET
you'll want a few more hours
and then even a whole day of holiness and 
that's what Shabbos is all about! 
 
And  paraphrasing Rabbi SHLOMO CARLEBACH-
 
HAVE A LITTLE HOLINESS - AND BE FOREVER YOUNG

Shabbat Shalom from Israel - now 67 years young!
