Acharei Mot-Kedoshim (Guest Rabbi Pinchas Allouche)

Rabbi Pinchas Allouche, head Rabbi at Congregation Beth Tefillah in Scottsdale, and the host of the Rabbi Allouche podcast, joins Seth for the full hour to talk about this week's Torah portion, known as Acharei Mot-Kedoshim, coming from the book of Leviticus. Rabbi Allouche delves into the concept of being holy like God. He discusses the importance of treating others with kindness and respect, citing the commandment to love your fellow as yourself. Rabbi Allouche shares insights from the Torah, highlighting the need to balance negative and positive commandments, and how holiness is built by stepping towards others, not away from them. He also explores the idea that forgiveness and love are learned behaviors, and that vulnerability is key to achieving them. The conversation offers a thought-provoking look at what it means to be holy and how to live a life of purpose and compassion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
