Parashas Kedoshim

Our Parsha this Shabbos is Parashas Kedoshim.In this Parsha are over Seventy Mitzvos that HaShem instructs to keep us Holy.
HaShem asks Moshe this time to address the entire assembly of the Children of Israel at once telling them to be Holy for G-D is Holy . 
A Father wants to be close to His Children and thus instructs his children to be like him .This is a beautiiful show of closeness. HaShem wants our closeness as His children and so,wants us to emulate Him .HaShem is Holy,infact beyond Holy and so wants us to be holy too .This will allow our closeness with Him .
Our Soul is our link from HaShem and the body that surrounds the soul needs to be holy so that it can be a vessel that lights all around it and brings all around it to HaShem . But this World is so full of physical temptations that the body gets pulled by the delights that it comes across . So to keep the body in check , HaShem gives us many beautiful Commandments that hone the body toward spiritual holiness of and keep it holy so that it might reach the soul within it and so, can climb toward HaShem .These Commandments govern every walk of life and all the experiences we might face so that , out of HaShem's Love , we can remain protected from the physicalities that try to pull it down . Thus the Commandments actually free us from the physical World that tries to bind and tie us and so, let's us fly Heaven-ward towards HaShem . 
The word 'Kedoshim' in Gematriah comes to 460 and 4+6+0 = '10' and 1+0 = '1' so the very 'Kedoshim' - 'Holiness' as the Word 'Holy' shows brings us to the Oneness of HaShem and allows us , by keeping HaShem's Commandments , to become One with Him . When HaShem Made Creation , HaShem used Ten Pronouncements to make all things - So is the Ten value within the word ' Kedoshim.' When HaShem gave us the Ten Commandments when we witnessed HaShem's Essence which is still with us, HaShem Pronounced Ten Commandments to bring us to be One with Him just as the word 'Kedoshim' brings us the 10 Commandments within the Word so that we can become One with Him .
Thus the very Holy Essence of each and every Commandment which honess our body to be holy, is a step toward HaShem .
To be One with HaShem is one of the beautiiful destinations of the purpose of Creation .
HaShem asks us to be holy as He Is Holy and gives us the special path of His Mitzvos to become that Holiness ,so we can become One with the One and Only True G-D and Creator HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu . Every time you fulfill a Mitzvah - big or small from our point of view ,for all Mitzvos have a value beyond what we can count and things aren't big or small in true reality for we don't really see the true value of each Mitzvah, we complete a part of Creation that HaShem set for us to complete , making us partners with Him . So count each Mitzvah as a Blessed Opportunity to fulfill Creation's purpose and bring all things to 'Kedoshim,' - ' Holy' Closeness with HaShem . 
With Love to HaShem , I wish HaShem with Love , a Special Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with Love and to all my fellow Yidden , a special beauitiful Shabbos Kodesh with love .
