Parsha Stories (Acharei Mot/Kedoshim)

Keep up with the weekly parsha with Rabbi Ravid Tilles! In this episode, after Aaron’s sons have died, Aaron learns about a new skill he must hone as the Kohen Gadol: the ability to ask forgiveness for the entire community. As an act of love, Aaron would sacrifice one goat to the Lord and send the other off to Azazel as a symbol of casting away transgressions. Aaron's theme of love continues as we learn that, unlike in Egypt, love is considered the holiest act that one can perform.
