Parashat Kedoshim: Vayikra 19
Read, translate, and understand Humash and Rashi
Parashat Kedoshim is one of the most often studied chapters in school for a good reason: it contains many of the fundamental laws of Judaism. Nearly every type of question that Rashi asks comes up in this section: word meaning, juxtaposition, superfluous words, and more.
Join Jeffrey as he reads, translates, and explains this chapter of Humash. When finished, you'll have the skills to read, translate, and explain this chapter.

Founder of Talmid. I started Talmid after years of working with students, my kids, and people who returned to Judaism. You can read The Talmid Story here.
I am a graduate of Ner Israel and Johns Hopkins University. Professionally, I taught Judaic Studies for six year at the Seattle Hebrew Academy, and now I have over a decade of working as an instructional designer and writer for technology companies.
I translated In You I Trust: Verses, Teachings, and Prayers of Jewish Tradition to Comfort and Inspire and organized Girsah Deyankutah on: Tractate Shabbat, Mishnah, available as a free download.
I like learning, spending time with my family, baking, running, and playing the Oud.
