In this parashah, Adonai outlines and escribes in detail more of His laws concerning many issues applicable to a growing nation who will now work for their food and will necessarily continue to develop their relationship with G-d. The dietary laws are described and they are commanded not to add to or subtract from G-d's Torah/instructions. This command is violated by both traditional rabbinic Jews with the Oral Torah in many cases and Christians by changing the Sabbath, ignoring the dietary laws, designated festivals of G-d,, and by practicing pagan ceremonies such as Christmas and Easter. It is imperative that anyone who wants to be included as one of G-d's people to grasp the ground rules in this and other parashiot in order to win the race to win the prize of eternity with G-d.
