Our goal is for our mundane and physical matters to become infused with holiness.
Avodah involving one’s concealed aspect renders one a vessel to absorb the “concealed” aspect of G-d.
Engaged with Ahavas Yisrael, since one does not know how high a Yid is.
(א) One is to be holy in three related matters
- In permitted matters
- Not only for oneself, also for one’s children
- Imbue into consciousness by Shabbos observance
(ו) The avodah of “sanctify yourself in permitted matters” effects the future redemption
(יד) Ahavas Yisrael is a comprehensive principle of Torah; fundamental to Chassidus to the extent that it becomes mandatory
קדושים יט, ב ואהבת יט, יח א
Jews, smallest among the nations, are not nullified since they are connected to their Source.
Detached Orlah can be nullified with another element 200 times as much; but an Orlah tree lost among other trees, can not be nullified. This reflects the principle that a plant that is connected to its source cannot be nullified.
ערלה יט, כז ג
Only through praises to G-d for a Jew’s physical needs (תהלות ישראל(יושב)), then we draw down Atzmus into this world (ואתה קודש).

Word “או” teaches if one does both things, then obligated to provide two sin offerings.
*אוב או ידעוני כ, כז זב
Someone who is on a high level can’t be satisfied; if on a low level, can’t be discouraged.
“Acharei” indicates not to be satisfied with raising one’s level, since another, higher level exists.
“Kedoshim” one can reach to holiness without limits.
קדושים יט, ב יב
Doing good deeds also bring continuing (good) effects.
Stealing has continuing consequences until one repays; similar to idol worship.
Bad actions that continue to have bad effects.
