Growing through Leviticus – Acharei Mot/Kedoshim

Rabbi Trugman – Shares with us about the weekly (double) Torah portion (Acharei Mot/Kedoshim).

Personal Thoughts – Interesting that the Hebrew word for Jewish Law is called “Halachah” which means “the way forward” and the book of Jewish Law is called the “Shulchan Aruch” which means “the set table”. Just two examples of the deeper (dual) meanings of common words in Judaism.

How Spiritual Impurity is Similar to Expulsion from the Garden of Eden

Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz – Shares about this week’s upcoming double parasha (Tazria-Metzora) and how many of the principles of tumah (spiritual impurity) are based all the back to the Garden of Eden.

Personal Thoughts – The beginning of the journey of (Wo)Man’s journey began in the Garden of Eden and the foundations set forth then still affect us today. This is a great lesson to learn that it’s not random.
