Episode 232 - Parshat Ki Tezte: The Dignity of the Human Body

from Matan: One on One Parsha Podcast · host Matan: One on One Parsha Podcast

In this fascinating conversation with R. Yitzchak Blau, we discuss the prohibition to let a dead body remain exposed overnight, learned from this week's parsha. We debate the exegetical complexities of the prohibition's phrasing and then explore the way these verses expanded over time to form the most basic legal and ethical guidelines for posthumous care. Our Devarim series highlights important rabbinic principles derived from these parshiyot.
