The High Priest’s Wife

Repentance makes it possible to restore our original innocence before G-d, and even forge a better relationship with Him than had existed previously. When the Tabernacle or the holy Temple stood, the most severe misdeeds were atoned for through the rituals and sacrifices of the annual Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). These rituals can only be performed by the high priest. Some of these rituals take place in the innermost chamber of the Tabernacle, the “Holy of Holies.”
וְהִקְרִיב אַהֲרֹן אֶת פַּר הַחַטָּאת אֲשֶׁר לוֹ וְכִפֶּר בַּעֲדוֹ וּבְעַד בֵּיתוֹ:
(ויקרא טז:ו)
Aaron must bring forward his sin-offering bull and atone for himself and for his household [i.e., his wife]. Leviticus 16:6

In order for the Yom Kippur rites to be valid, the high priest must be married, and return directly home to his wife after completing the Yom Kippur rites. The purpose of his attaining high levels of Divine consciousness in the Holy of Holies is in order to apply this inspiration to everyday life. Since women personify our drive to make the world into G d’s home, the high priest's return home to his wife – sharing his Divine inspiration with her, thereby enabling her to develop and expand her own Divine consciousness – is the culmination of the intense spiritual work of the day.
The Yom Kippur rites instruct us how to renew our relationship with G d. Thus, fostering our own marital harmony is an integral part of fostering our relationship with G d. Husbands must encourage their wives’ spiritual development. And we must all strive to harmonize our “male” sides, i.e., our aspiration to spirituality, with our “female” sides, i.e., our aspiration to bring spirituality into our daily lives.

Likutei Sichot, vol. 32, pp. 110–111
Questions

Story Section:

I spent my school year in 2006 visiting mass graves.

Based out of the Chabad center in Warsaw, Poland, my cohort of fellow yeshivah students and I spent the year in what we considered the ashes of the Holocaust. Sure, there were a lot of firsts—the first impromptu  bar mitzvah  with a Jew from Bialystok, the first kosher  Shabbat meal  in Wrocław, etc., but mostly our experiences seemed to center around mass graves. In Warsaw, in Majdanek, and wherever we traveled in Poland—the memory of what once was loomed inescapably.

Until I met Jakob.

Parasha Kedoshim is usually a double parasha teamed with parasha Acherai Mot. The famous adage "after death comes Holiness" comes from this relationship.

The energy of Parasha Kedoshim is holyness. Holyness is manifest in people who have reached the consciousness of "Loving your Neighbor as Yourself".

There are 6 levels of consciousness in this frame of reference. The lowest is "human decency". Then comes the level of "tolerance". Then comes "love your friends and family". Then comes "love your neighbor as yourself". Then comes "Awe of HaShem" followed by "love of HaShem".

To achieve the levels of "Love your neighbor as yourself" and above requires spiritual cleansing and spiritual growth.
This is the path to Mashiach consciousness. Have you even started treating people with "human decency"? Most of the world has not. Stray negative thoughts indicate one has not.

What is a stray negative thought? Thoughts that include swear words is one type. Thoughts of angry responses or thoughts of hatred are considered stray negative thoughts.
Shabbat Shalom!

 Here is a link to our Rosh Chodesh Connection Nissan 5779- 

Rosh Chodesh Iyar will be on Sunday Evening May 4 to sundown May 6. Our connection will be at 7 PM on May 5.

The New Moon begins the week in Aries - note it is not yet in Taurus. This will make the energy assertive and confident.

Mars is opposite Jupiter. This strengthens the assertive energy which creates a need to be careful and stay in balance rather than be over confident.
