“Draw Near & Live Set Apart”

📖 Leviticus 16:1–20:27

🔥 Introduction

This double portion answers two foundational questions:

• 👉 How do we approach Yah? (Acharei Mot)
• 👉 How do we live once we belong to Him? (Kedoshim)

These are not separate—they are one continuous call:

Right access → Right living
