Esta semana leemos dos parashot: Ajarei Mot y Kedosh\u00edm, cuyos respectivos significados son \u00abLuego de la muerte\u00bb y \u00abSantos\u00bb.<\/p>\n
Para entender un poco la raz\u00f3n por la cual leemos ciertas secciones juntas, debemos comprender que la costumbre mundialmente aceptada es leer toda la Tor\u00e1 en un ciclo de un a\u00f1o. Cada semana se lee una porci\u00f3n (que puede ser de una o dos parashot). Ahora bien, en la Tor\u00e1 hay 54 parashot, al igual que el n\u00famero de semanas del a\u00f1o, sin embargo, debemos tener en cuenta los Shabatot que algunas festividades \u00absacan\u00bb, por as\u00ed decir, del ciclo normal de lectura. Si una festividad acaece en Shabat o en los Shabatot intermedios de Pesaj y Sucot, se interrumpe el ciclo secuencial de lectura y se lee algo relacionado con el momento. Esto va restando Shabatot y forzando que, para completar la Tor\u00e1 en un a\u00f1o, se deban juntar secciones.<\/p>\n
In leap years, that is, when there is an additional month of Adar, sections are generally not combined because 4 (or sometimes 5) more Shabbatot are added to the year.<\/p>\n
Our sages indicated which sections can be combined; it's not that a different combination is chosen each year, but rather that they are always the same. This suggests that there must be some relationship between the sections read together and, of course, a lesson we can learn from that combination.<\/p>\n
El comienzo de la primer secci\u00f3n habla de la muerte de los dos hijos de Ahar\u00f3n. Como fue mencionado en otro bolet\u00edn , hay diferentes opiniones entre los comentaristas sobre por qu\u00e9 fallecieron. El Or haJa\u00edm, del Rab\u00ed Jaim ben Atar (1696-1743), escribe que la raz\u00f3n de su muerte fue un excesivo acercamiento a Di-s. Por eso el vers\u00edculo dice (Vaikr\u00e1 16:1) \u00abcuando se acercaron a Di-s y murieron\u00bb. Este acercamiento se trat\u00f3 de un nivel excelso de amor a Di-s que caus\u00f3 que sus almas se separen de su cuerpo para retornar a Di-s.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, the second section presents an extensive list of 51 Mitzvot, many of which are related to everyday matters, such as respect for parents, helping the poor with the produce of the field, loving one's neighbor, the prohibition of revenge, resentment, theft, etc., all very practical matters that make up life in society.<\/p>\n
Una forma de ver la relaci\u00f3n entre estas secciones es que uno podr\u00eda pensar que la m\u00e1xima santidad consiste en apartarse de la sociedad, a\u00fan si se tratase de una sociedad sana, quien es santo est\u00e1 \u00abpor encima\u00bb de ella. De hecho lo llamamos a Di-s Santo porque su esencia est\u00e1 removida de este mundo, en t\u00e9rminos de no ser modificada ni afectada por el universo entero ni por nuestras acciones. Es como si tom\u00e1semos el ejemplo de los hijos de Ahar\u00f3n fallecidos \u00abcuando se acercaron a Di-s\u00bb y estableci\u00e9semos que ese es el ideal de santidad.<\/p>\n
However, the Torah continues with the second section of this week, clarifying that holiness does not mean total withdrawal, but rather modifying one's surroundings. How? By respecting one's parents, helping those in need, not stealing, and so on.<\/p>\n
It is true, there must be a certain detachment from the environment in order not to be negatively affected, because after all, the Torah and its rules are eternal and immutable, because they come from an Eternal and Immutable God, while society and the environment are ephemeral and ever-changing. We, as human beings, are closer to the ephemeral and ever-changing than to the eternal and immutable. That is why there must be a boundary and a certain distance. But not complete detachment. There must always be a connection with the world, because the very purpose of life is to change the world. For that, one must be, so to speak, within the world.<\/p>\n
That is why the Torah, in its great wisdom, warns us not to be like the sons of Aaron, but to get involved and improve the world through the Mitzvot, and that means being holy.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Esta semana leemos dos parashot: Ajarei Mot y Kedosh\u00edm, cuyos respectivos significados son \u00abLuego de la muerte\u00bb y \u00abSantos\u00bb.
