We say we have to learn Kamoha every single day so much love your neighbor like you love yourself that we stopped hearing it. This week I would like us to hear it together. >> [music] >> And after motion Kadoshim we see three soaking that belong together in Kadoshim T U shall be holy the after Kamoha love your neighbor as love yourself and do not stand idly by the blood of your neighbor. Three soaking one message your holy the person next to you is holy and you're forbidden from looking away when they're bleeding. Rabbi Akiva calls Kamoha the cloud Godel by Torah the single greatest principle of the entire Torah not one of the great principles the greatest everything else flows from there which means how we treat the person who's suffering how we show up for the person who is drowning is not just a nice thing to do it is the very foundation of everything. The person drowning in addiction who hasn't been sober in years the survivor of abuse carrying the shame that didn't belong to them for decades the person in the middle of the mental health crisis feels so broken that being called holy feels impossible for them to receive. Yet we point them to the same person Kadoshim T U the Torah is not speaking to the people who have it together there's no asterisk there's no fine print that says all except for you. This message is for everyone. And if you're watching this and you're in pain you are not your addiction you are not what happened to you you are not your worst moment of your darkest year you are Kadosh you are holy. And to everyone who knows someone else who is struggling in their own darkness and needs help low summer do not stand idly by you do not have to have the answers you need to make the call. Reach out reach out to someone to anyone to a mood into another organization you don't have to carry this alone. You are all holy. This is turning the wheel because the road to healing isn't straight but no one should have to travel it alone wishing you a wonderful Shabbos.
