Parashiot
Acharei Mot (After the death) and Kedoshim (you shall be a holy nation)
The
second section starts with a chapter that is among the richest in quantity and quality
of laws. We read a very famous verse (we usually do not know how to quote its
beginning and its end...)
Leviticus
19:18 "You must not take revenge nor hold a
grudge against any of your people; instead, you must love your neighbor as
yourself; I am the Lord."
Why do we only remember " you must love your
neighbor as yourself" and not the rest of the verse?
Maybe because we forgot that we shall not take
revenge with the people we love... and maybe because we forget who is the
boss...
I hope that interpretation is incorrect and I am
wrong.
