"the detailed rules and practices laid down in Leviticus are just strange"
Leviticus is primarily a system of priestly rules and regulations given to adherents of the law of Moses. (Except chapter 10 which details God's displeasure with men who presume to alter God's pattern of worship.)
With the coming of the law of Christ, the law of Moses was abolished.
Heb 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
Leviticus, as with the rest of the Old Law, has been done away. Its value is now historical.
That's how we "rightly divide the word." (II Tim. 2:15)

With the coming of the law of Christ, the law of Moses was abolished.That will certainly surprise the 13,000,000 (more or less) Jews in the world. I expect they'll shut down Israel when they hear.
