Israel strives to deal with the issues of blood. Blood seems to be the essence of life. Yet, not knowing what to make of a woman's menstrual cycle declares the woman unclean. Secretions of the body are up for debate as to their cleansing requirements. Israel stives to be holy like God is holy. However, holiness seems to be a vaguely defined unreachable ideal. Humankind struggles with the human condition.
