ד“בס Issue 528 Parshat Kedoshim
Shabbat MiTzion שבת מציון
26 Nisan 5774, April 26, 2014
second half of Sefer Shmot is dedicated to the build-ing of the Msihkan. Here Hashem illustrates the con-cept of Kedusha within the realm of space. The begin-ning of Sefer Vayikra teaches us that we can conse-crate animals and mundane objects and instill within them Kedusha. Finally after all of these lessons; of being able to find Kedusha in all aspects and realms of this world – Hashem teaches us that there is holiness within our-selves – through perfection of our actions, character traits and thoughts. This in essence is the hidden mes-sage of the illnesses' of Ttzaraat and and Ziva.(although they reflect this in our failure to achieve this) In our Parsha – the Torah tells us " Kdoshim Tihiyu". The Ramban in his famous explanation of this pasuk gives a novel approach to the concept of Kedusha. If up until now we have illustrated that the Torah not only gave us a clear vision, of whom we could be-come; together with a step by step action plan as to how to achieve it; here the Ramban explains that the Torah is ordering us to "separate ourselves from impurity even though the Torah didn’t command us to do so" and "going beyond the letter of the law for others" relating to this idea and the pasuk "and you shall do good and just". If up until now Hashem has given us a clear action plan as to how to achieve our vision of Kedusha; here the Torah tells us that the final step is for us to navi-gate our own way to cleave to Hakadosh Barucha Hu and become holy once we have internalized all the direct commandments of the Torah. G-d as the ultimate teacher at some stage, wants us to figure out the answer even though he hasn’t taught us explicitly in the proverbial classroom. He has given us the tools and knowhow to intuit what is the straight and just path. B"H after Chag Hapesach where we celebrated our freedom; let us merit to use it to achieve our G-d given vision – "And you shall be holy".
Joel Barker said – "Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world" The Jewish people can undoubtedly claim that they have changed the world. One could argue that this should come as no surprise since G-d himself chose us to become his Chosen nation. However although G-d is almighty and can do anything; He willfully chose to govern our world through a natural order and thereby give us free choice. If Barker is correct, the question is how did G-d take a slave nation, and turn them into a people that would literally change the world? Firstly G-d gave us a vision – not only on a personal level but on a national one as well. "To be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation"(Shmot 19/6). This "holy nation" would be a "light unto the other na-tions"(Yeshayahu 42/6) – and bring about a Tikun Olam – a restoration of the world. But to a slave nation, who has just emerged from the depths of depravity in immoral and brutal Egypt, Ke-dusha – is not only unfathomable; it is incomprehensi-ble. Here G-d gives us his proverbial hand and leads us step by step giving us a clear action plan. When Am Yisrael came out of Mitzrayim, and reached Mara – Chazal tell us that Hashem gave them two mitzvoth- Honoring ones parents and Shabbat.(Midrash Pesikta Zutrta) Hashem tells the slave nation – before we can achieve the sublime and lofty vision of "Kedusha", you first need to be decent human beings – a nation of ment-chzin. Honoring ones parents is a basic and funda-mental principle of common decency called – Hakarat Hatov – Appreciating and thanking others for the good they bestowed upon you. Rav Kook writes that any Yirat Shamayim (fear of Heaven) that negates ones innate human morality is on a certain level a perverted "Yirat shamayim".(Orot Hakodesh chp3) Rashi quotes another midrash that the mitzva of the Red heifer was given then. This mitzva is the quintes-sential example of doing things because we are com-manded to by Divine law – even though we cannot fathom its meaning. A critical aspect of achieving our vision is internalizing this principle – We do mitzvoth because we are commanded, and not because we view and understand their immense value and beauty. At this stage G-d introduces us to the concept of "Kedusha – holiness". First, we are shown the concept of Kedusha within the realm of time – Shabbat. The

The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) is the only operating stock exchange in Israel. It serves to raise capital for and from the Israeli capital market and se-curities trading. The TASE is a private commercial company owned by 28 members mostly Israeli banks and large investment houses - both local and foreign. Members of the Stock Exchange are the only ones who have the abil-ity to trade, so each transaction is made solely through them. The trading in-cludes a wide range of financial products. The Exchange's international code is TASE.
Local trade in securities began in the 1930s, years before the formation of the State of Israel. Trade was carried out through the Exchange Bureau for Secu-rities, founded by the Anglo-Palestine Bank (which became Bank Leumi) in 1935.
With the formation of the State of Israel, a pressing need arose to formalize trade in securities. In September 1953, a number of banks and brokerages joined forces and established the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.
Since the mid-1990s the TASE has been adapting to meet the standards of the most advanced exchanges in the world. Physical trading floors, long abol-ished, have been replaced by a computerized system, the TACT (Tel Aviv Continuous Trading) allows the flow of transaction orders in real time.
TASE is an internationally recognized exchange and is a member of the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE), an observer member of the Federation of European Stock Exchanges (FESE) and an affiliate member of the Internation-al Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO).
Since 1983 the TASE has been located on Echad Ha'am street but in the coming year it will move to a new home on Montefiore Street in Tel Aviv - the building featured in last week's ISRA-tag.
The Stock Exchange trading volume in 2007 reached a record peak height of nearly 600 billion NIS but declined steadily since that year, as part of the global crisis in 2008 and subsequently many local factors, to a low of 265 bil-lion NIS in 2012.
In the past year there has been a slow recovery in trading volume. Let's hope that this trend will continue.
As of 2012, Israel ranks 16th among 187 nations on the UN's Human Development Index, (a composite statistic of life expectancy, education, and income indexes used to rank countries into four tiers of human development) which places it in the category of "Very Highly Developed".
