K'doshim is a very short sedra - only 5 sedras are shorter. But it is the most mitzva-dense sedra in the Torah. It even has many more mitzvot than its large numbers indicate.

FYI 5765 has 55 Shabbatot. There are no double sedras this year (Rare: 13.8% in Israel; 3.9% abroad). Vayeilech is not read at all during 5765. V'zot Habracha was read on a Thursday (or Friday, Simchat Torah). The 52 other sedras each take a Shabbat. That leaves 3 Shabbatot without a Parshat HaShavua, but rather special readings for the day: Yom Kippur, Sh. Chol HaMoed Sukkot, and the 7th day of Pesach.

Mitzvot:
51 of the 613 mitzvot, 13 positive + 38 prohibitions
