This morning we offer prescriptions from Torah portion Kedoshim for a holy path in life.
- Don’t withhold your worker’s wages—if somebody works for you, pay them right away
- When a person gathers the wheat from their field, they should leave a corner for poor people
This idea of leaving the corner of the fields for the widow, the orphan, the poor, and the indigent is a way to let people who are in need have some dignity in not needing to beg.
Respecting human dignity makes us holy.
