- In this chapter is kedushah (uniqueness) limited to the worship center or to its staff?
- Or, is kedushah (uniqueness and its extensions) to be practiced by all Israelites?
- Is kedushah sporadic, for particular moments only?
- Or, are daily actions to be used as reminders to be unique and different?
- Eating, a biological act, in this context is projected as related to kedushah in what mode — as a reminder?
- Is the most effective technique to make people conscious of kedushah through “special activities” or through daily normal activity patterns (such as eating)?
- Are the permitted and prohibited creatures determined by considerations of health or availability?
- Is uniqueness (kedushah) a reflexive act requiring individual will and action (note the verb vehitkadishtem — and you shall make yourselves unique)? (Lev 11:44)
- Is a unique concept of Divinity adequate if intellectualized only (the Jewish view of God as Kadosh) or must it be part of a regularized action pattern?
- In this text, is kashrut a function of “uniqueness” or a provision for physical health or both?
- What reason might there be that this section follows the dedication of the Center?
- Are the regulations regarding permitted and non-permitted animals for food given to some of the Israelites or to all and if to all, why?
- Is reason given why certain categories are excluded and others included?
- Is health mentioned at any point?
- In essence, then, how does one make himself/herself “unique?”
- Is any “reward” promised for following these regulations?
- What reason is given, then, for observing the regulations?
- Will observing the regulations, according to TorahRefers to the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, the Tanakh, also called the Five Books of Moses, Pentateuch or the Hebrew equivalent, Humash. This is also called the Written Torah. The term may also refer to teachings that expound on Jewish tradition. Read more result in greater strength of the individual?
- And, again what does “vehitkadishtem” mean?
- Does Torah indicate here what consequences will follow for one who does not follow these instructions?
- Are there any regulations whatsoever in this section which are only for Mosheh or for the staff of the Kirvah Center?
