Rabbi & Batsheva Lax - Shaare NCSYouth 1 [email protected] שבת שלום � � SHABBAT CANDLE LIGHTING - 7:52PM SHABBAT ENDS - 8:53PM DALLAS TIME� OMER 23� Dvar Torah for Kids: Shabbat Shalom, This Shabbat we have two sedras, Acharei Mot and Kedoshim. The two sidrot discuss many many different things, one being something called kedusha, which means being separate. The Jewish people are told by Hashem to be separate from all the other nations. We are told to be different than everyone else. How should we be different? As a Jewish person we do mitzvot and we learn the Torah. The rest of the world knows we have mitzvot that tell us to be good people, and they look to us to see how a good person behaves. Hashem made us kadosh, but we have to act that way to keep being kadosh.
