29 Acharei Mot (אחרי מות) - After the Death

In this week’s podcast, we explore the Torah portion “Acharei Mot,” covering Leviticus 16:1 to 18:30. This passage begins with the aftermath of the deaths of Aaron’s two sons, Nadab and Abihu, and outlines the procedures for entering the Holy Place, emphasizing the importance of formality and reverence in worship. Joseph Shulam reflects on the shift from casual to formal worship practices and draws parallels between ancient rituals and contemporary attitudes. We also discuss related readings from Amos 9:7-15 and Galatians 5, highlighting the interconnectedness of the Torah, Prophets, and New Testament. Join us for a deep dive into the lessons of reverence, preparation, and the significance of ritual in our spiritual lives.
