"You Shall Be Holy" - "It is a Positive Commandment from the Torah to be Holy

Before you is the full daily lesson as delivered by our teacher, the Rav, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a (may he live long and good days) – yesterday after the Ma'ariv (evening) prayer, Thursday, Parshas Kedoshim, the night of the 2nd of Iyar:

"No woman sinned in the Sin of the Golden Calf, nor in the Sin of the Spies, nor in the Sin of Korach—except for the wife of Korach. Therefore, no woman died in the desert. All the women lived and merited to enter the Land [of Israel]. Every woman who left Egypt merited to enter the Land. For a woman is not predisposed to sin; a woman does not belong to the realm of sin. It is only that others cause her to stumble or entice her, but on her own, she would never sin. It is written, 'You shall be holy' (Kedoshim Tihyu). 'And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel... You shall be holy.' Being holy is a positive commandment from the Torah; it is not merely a 'middas chasidus' (measure of piety), it is not just a custom of Shuvu Banim. It is a positive commandment from the Torah to be holy and pure in the ultimate degree of holiness and purity—to break the Xiaomi, to break the smartphone. Every day, ten children are killed, ten Jews. In the North, in Metula; in the South, in Gaza. Every moment, another Jew and another Jew is killed—all because not everyone has yet broken the Xiaomi, the smartphone. And every girl needs to lengthen her skirt to the ankle; then no Jew will be killed anymore, the war will stop, and there will be the complete Geulah (Redemption) speedily in our days, Amen!".
