Who among us is unfamiliar with the tune "You’ve gotta have heart," from "Damn Yankees"? Whether it be in music, in musicals, or in medicine, the heart is at the center; it is a commodity without which we cannot proceed. Therefore, it would seem to be more than sheer coincidence that this week’s Torah reading, Parshat Kedoshim, is found almost precisely at the heart of the Torah.
