[Avodah] Acharei Mot "What Happens After Develops From What Happened Before"

[Cantor Wolberg]

Acharei Mot is the only Torah portion with the word "death" in its  
title.  As we know, death in Judaism is associated with tamei.
However, as everything must be taken in context, so too, should  
death.  The portion "Acharei Mot" is followed by "Kedoshim".
So the context is much more optimistic than at first appearance.  
"Acharei Mot" – "AFTER death", is "Kedoshim", holiness.
Death is not the finality; holiness is.
