Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length of the article: 2 pagesLength of the audio: 10 minutes 27 secondsSynopsis: This is the audio version of the 2-page article I published on rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/ on 5/10/24 (originally written on 3/18/14), entitled: Acharei Mos / Kedoshim: How Ancient Israelites Viewed Incest (and Why It Matters). This article began with the two questions in the title and evolved into a theory about the Torah's campaign against arayos in general which became a shiur available below for paid subscribers only.-----I'd like to thank Aaron K. for sponsoring this week's Torah content.
