Parashah Points: Acharei Mot – The Torah and Inappropriate Relationships

In this Parashah Point on Acharei Mot, we explore why the Creator cares about our sexual relationships. Leviticus 18 establishes that sexual intimacy is sacred and sets boundaries to protect families and communities. The teaching explains that commands like “You shall not lie with mankind as with womankind; it is an abomination” are part of God’s moral law and reveal His desire for holiness. Believers are encouraged to honor God with their bodies and relationships, resisting the immoral practices of surrounding cultures. Thu, 20 Mar 2025 13:14:38

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Bo, we look at knowing the importance of YHWH’s judgment and wrath. In Exodus 10:1-2 we are commanded to remember the plagues sent against Egypt as YHWH dealing harshly with them. These plagues are part of YHWH’s judgment as He poured out His wrath that we might know Him.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion Chukat, we read Numbers 20:25-29 where Aaron dies. He’s replaced by his son as high priest, but the loss of Aaron meant Israel needed to trust God and keep going no matter who was their high priest.

In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion called Vayikra, we do something a little different. There are many who find Leviticus boring and unnecessary in the modern world. So today, we want to look at why Leviticus matters, or should matter, to believers today.
