Episode 61: Proximity and Purity - with Dena Weiss from Hadar

from Dash of Drash · host Rabbi Marc Soloway

The transition from the Book of Exodus to Leviticus can feel abrupt in its move from dramatic narrative to bloody sacrifices. It is too easy to dismiss the details of these priestly rituals as alien relics of an ancient world. Dena Weiss, head of the Beit Midrash (House of Study) at Hadar in New York, in conversation with Rabbi Marc, shares insights on contemporary resonances of the themes of the sacrificial cult.
