PARALLEL PARASHA
EMOR –SANCTIFYING HASHEM’S NAME THROUGH BEHAVIOR
By Evelyn Haies,

They say not to embarrass the Jew by reporting his
misdemeanors
However, the Holy Tanach is the full of stories of the
schemers
The tellers of false tales, thieves, murderers, all that
is gory
To remind His people to be righteous; that misdeeds are
not glorious.
Many say to hide the evil amongst us so as not to shame
His people
However, the Holy Book is a document of evil and libel
The Cains, the Ishmaels, the Esaus are guilty of killing,
stealing, misdoing
The selling of Josef reminds His people of the pain of pursuing evil.
Hashem has given a protocol for deeds and actions.
However, those off the derech must repent or suffer the
ramifications
Infractions by the cohanim are the most unholy, are tumah
Misactions by all are a desecration of Gd’s name and
cause trauma,
The Commandments are a roadmap for living
And self criticism is a means of teaching His directions
Corruption, Disruption, misgiving lead to an eruption
from defection
Remember, not abiding magnifies floods, earthquakes,
tsunamis, mudslides
Let us criticize, demonize, punish to prevent the
demented
Let us praise those who raise the nation to apprehend
those who disregard His laws
Let us praise those who raise their children to keep the
laws as He intended
Remember, there are special days for counting and
appraising.
As we count the Omer keep a record to welcome Shavous
There must be restriction, depiction, conviction,
eviction
There must be alleviation, revelation, elevation
Remember there is wrong, and there must be a righting of
wrongs.
The Jew has a responsibility to elevate Gd
However, disregard for HaShem, one’s fellow man, the laws
and the lessons
Is because of the failure to blame, disdain, shame and
correct the derelect
Teshuva is the selection for rectification; only with disclosure
can there be reclamation
