The Deeper End of the Parsha-Acharei Mos Kedoshim-Holiness -recognizing the dignity of the downtrodden

Rabbi Worch-Co host of theChavrusaand acclaimed translator of theBnei Yessascharelaborates on two carefully selected sections of the famed mystic and commentator,Rav Moshe Alshich,one from Acharei Mos and its description of the Avodah of Yom HakippurimThat passage can be found hereWith fine tuned reading of the verses,the Alshich emphasizes Aharon's complete exoneration from the sin of the Golden Calf,and the purpose of the special linen garments,and twin Chatas goatsRabbi Worch then turns to what appears a pedestrian passage about agricultural laws in ParshasKedoshimPlease find that -hereWith the Alshich's careful attention to stylistic changes in the Biblicalverses,coupled withcogentreferencing of the contractual details of marriage arrangements as laid out in the Talmud,Rabbi Worch presents Peah as a paradigm of how community relations and attitudes need to develop in order to have a holy society that affords dignity to all its members.Way beyond a mere translator,Rabbi Worch places the material in context with Halachic directives in Tzedakah from the Rambam,evocative statements of the saintly Levi Yitzchak of Berditchevand a few witty classic Jewish epigrams.We thank the Illinois Center for Jewish Studies for the use of this materialPlease leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
