Aliya Summary: The Torah sets the punishments for individuals who
curse their parents and those who engage in prohibited sexual relations.
We are instructed not to follow the customs and traditions of the
heathens, and to be meticulous about eating only kosher foods. The Torah
portion ends with an rejoinder that we be holy.
Notice
the dual role that every Jew must play. We are each individuals and we
are part of Klal Yisrael. We are exhorted to keep the Torah as
individuals, but we are also "advised" to be faithful to G-d so that
tragedies will not happen to the People of Israel as a whole.
