What does it truly mean to live a holy life in today’s world?
In this week’s Torah Reading, Pastor Israel Pochtar explores Parashat Kedoshim and God’s call to live set apart through love, reverence, justice, and obedience.
This week’s Weekly Torah Reading takes us into Parashat Kedoshim (Leviticus 19:1–20:27), one of the most powerful passages about holiness in all of Scripture.
God speaks to the people of Israel and says:
“You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy.” (Leviticus 19:2)
The Hebrew word Kedoshim means “holy ones,” and throughout this portion we discover that holiness is not only about worship or religious rituals — it is about how we live every day.
In this teaching, Pastor Israel Pochtar explores:
• What biblical holiness really means
• Why God calls His people to live differently
• The connection between holiness and loving others
• Yeshua’s teaching on “love your neighbor as yourself”
• How reverence for God shapes daily life
This Torah portion reminds us that holiness is not isolation from the world, but reflecting God’s character within it. Through honesty, compassion, justice, and love, believers are called to reveal God’s nature in a broken world.
As Yeshua taught, loving God and loving people stand at the center of true obedience.
