Leviticus: 16:1-18:30 

Bad stuff goes down in the desert. God demands discipline: sends the Israelites to the corner with a bunch of heavy-duty rules to study. In Acharei Mot, Amichai Lau-Lavie revives his Bar Mitzvah parsha to share what he's learned after 27 years of sitting in the corner with this text.

The narrator says that "discipline matters". Most people have used self-discipline at one point (practicing the piano, going on a diet, studying dance, etc). Can you give an example of when you used self-discipline? How did you feel? Why is it important?
