difficult? Partly from the power of
communal action; Israel as a com
munity forms a perfect single body.
Here the entire congregation of
Israel gathered together to hear the
command “Be holy," thereby vouch
safing each individual the power
and the merit (z’chus) of commu
nal action.

The command "Be holy" means
that we are to practice self-control
ev en in the area of the permissible.
Although the Torah does not warn
elsewhere against superfluous lux
uries and does not prohibit them,
we are exhorted in this verse to
maintain a clean, pure conduct and
to abstain from extravagant indul
gence even in matters that are
“Kosher."
But let us he honest. Let us make
a sincere accounting of where we
stand in regard to fulfilling the
explicit Mit/vot of The Torah, es
pecially the fine details of obser
vance spelled out for us by the
Sages. For most of us the situation
is far from perfect. Since this is the
case should not the command "Be
Holy" be reserved for those few
saintly individuals who have
reached perfection in Mitzvot ob
servance? The rest of us, simple
mortals, should we not be happy if
we observe all the explicit prohibi
tions in Torah?
No; forthecommand isaddressed
to all the congregation of..Israel
without exception. The reason given
for the command is "because
I. G-d, your G-d. am holy" a rea
son that, obviously, applies to all
of us, for each and every person
was told at Sinai "1 am G-d. your
G-d.” collectively and individually,
and how are we to get strength to
sanctify ourselves (even) “with that
which is permitted to you" when
we find even ordinary observance
