Summary of Today's Chumash

The seventh aliyah begins by discussing purity (tahara) and impurity (tumah) of vessels and their contents, then goes on to discuss the fact that swarming creatures and unkosher.

The parsha then closes by telling us that G-d brought us out of Egypt for Him to be our G-d, and therefore we should be holy, and eating kosher food makes us so.
