“But if you will not listen to Me and you will not observe My commandments…” (Leviticus 26:14) G-d requires more than simply fulfilling His commandments. He expects us also to listen to His voice in everything that we do, to be informed by His presence in all our deeds and thoughts.

Bat Melech, with Rena Richman.
The next Bat Melech teaching will appear on May 20, 2009, (Iyar 26, 5769).
Part IV of a series in which Rena explores and shares the great spiritual depths of the righteous women who protected the children of Israel from the evil decree of Pharaoh, and prepared them for their eventual exodus from bondage and emergence as a free people. Miriam was a women of prophetic vision and a teacher of her generation. Her commitment to the sanctity of the Jewish family is what jump-started the exodus from Egypt, and also what caused G-d to later afflict her in the desert with tzar’at (leprosy).
Bat Melech teachings are now available in mp3 audio files, can also be subscribed to in iTunes.
The Kohen Gadol – High Priest – serves before the Shechinah – the Holy presence of
G-d, a place of life everlasting. Representing the entire nation of Israel, his work in the Holy Temple symbolizes the eternal nature of Israel. Therefore, the High Priest is instructed not to involve himself in the burial or mourning process, concerning even his mother or father. For he must remain untainted by the false illusion of death in the infinite reality of G-d.

“You shall be holy like I am holy.” (Leviticus 19:2) How can we become holy as G-d is holy? Certainly, we are expected to live within the guidelines set out by Torah. Yet, to a certain extent a person can conduct himself as “a scoundrel with the permission of the Torah,” that is, live within the laws of Torah, but, nevertheless, lead a self-centered hedonistic life, never drawing nearer to G-d. But to make ourselves holy, we need to live responsibly and with commitment to G-d, even within the permitted parameters of Torah.
