Parashat Acharei Mot-K'doshim [Leviticus 16-20] is another double parashah. Acharei Mot is mostly known because it is read on Yom Kippur, chapter 16 about Yom Kippur in the morning, and chapter 18, traditionally, about the forbidden sexual relationships in the afternoon. K'doshim is perhaps best known for what Rabbi Aqiva recognized as the great principle of the Torah, v-ahavta l-rei'akha kamocha, you should love your neighbor as yourself [Lev. 19:18]. We took note that this verse is paired with a later one [19:34], which commands love of the resident alien in our midst as well. It is hard to pass up the rich text of Leviticus 19, the beginning of the Holiness Code, and so we discussed some of the laws that spoke to us. We also discussed at some length the difference between Leviticus 19 and Exodus 20, which share many of the same laws but cast them in different lights. The Ten Commandments are addressed to the individual who belongs to a nation; chapter 19 is an exercise in community formation. While there is never enough time to discuss all that we want, there is always next week, and next year! We continue to keep in mind the hostages you remain in Gaza, and pray fervently that they will be speedily returned to their families. We also keep in mind the soldiers defending Israel as part of the Israel Defense Forces, may they be removed from harm's way. Shabbat Shalom.
Batya Ungar-Sargon shares Netziv commentaries on the parsha. These sessions are held on Zoom every week in memory of our mother in-law whose dedication to the Netziv (her great great grandfather), was legendary. It is estimated she studied the Ha'amek Davar some 78 times throughout her life, devoting every Tuesday to its study. May her memory be a blessing to her family and klal Yisroel.

Ramban on the Torah | 5785 | 25 | Acharei Mot - Kedoshim, by Rav Eli Weber Everyone knows that the Ramban (like all Jews), loves Eretz Yisrael. But why so much. At the end of Acharei Mot the Ramban explains his philosophy. How is sin different in Eretz Israel than outside of it?
ACHAREI MOT: DEALING WITH FAILURE | Stump the Rabbi (230)https://youtu.be/o0agq3kjUe4What happens when we fall spiritually—or face serious life challenges? In this powerful shiur, Rabbi Yaron Reuven breaks down the tragic story of Nadav and Avihu to show how failure isn't the end— it's the beginning of growth.Learn how the Torah gives us the tools to rise after setbacks, overcome struggles, and reconnect with HaShem.
What are the major themes of Yom Kippur as symbolized in the sacrifices of the day? What they can teach us beyond the holiday and for everyday life? All this and more on this week's Ponderings on the Parsha!

Welcome to Parsha and Prose, where Rabbi Shlomo Gemara and I weave the Torah's timeless wisdom with the insights of great literature. This week, we're diving into the double Torah portion Acharei Mot-Kedoshim (Leviticus 16:1–20:27), which grapples with the aftermath of Nadav and Avihu's deaths, the Yom Kippur atonement rituals, and a call to holiness through ethical and ritual laws. Through the lens of J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, we explore how Holden Caulfield's restless quest for authenticity and his struggle with a “phony” world mirrors the Torah's demand for genuine connection to God and others. Just as Acharei Mot seeks purification after loss and Kedoshim urges us to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18), Holden's yearning to protect innocence and find truth reflects a search for meaning in a fractured society. Join us as we uncover how these texts challenge us to confront our flaws, embrace sincerity, and build a life of purpose amidst chaos.

This one is pretty hard hitting. I didn't mean for it to be so intense but I realized how much I have personally weakened in my own Kedusha since I have moved from Israel and I guess this is the product of that! We talk about the famous Ramban of Menuval B'reshut hatroah in todays society. We find a hidden gem of a Ramban in Acharei Mot that teaches 4 levels of living for this world and the next. And a funny story in a pizza shop in Israel.

Stepping into the realm of sacred rituals and spiritual purity, we journey through the Book of Leviticus, unraveling the deep-seated teachings that have shaped the path to divine connection. This podcast episode invites you to traverse the profound intricacies of ancient offerings and their contemporary implications. We delve into the roles and responsibilities of both the ancient Israelites and the priests, and the resonating lesson from Nadav and Avihu's story about the gravity of adhering to spiritual protocol.Holiness and atonement are cornerstones of spiritual life, and in this session, they come to the forefront as we dissect the Torah portions of Acharei Mot and Kedoshim. The narrative of Yom Kippur unfolds, revealing its timeless message of repentance and the grace of forgiveness that follows sincere change. The respectful treatment of blood in kosher practices opens a window into the ethical fabric woven through our dietary laws, reminding us of the sanctity of life itself.As our exploration reaches its zenith, we turn inward, examining the essence of personal sanctity and the practical steps one can take to maintain it in modern society. From internet use to the sanctification of time, we seek to understand how our everyday choices contribute to a life of holiness. We share reflections on the moral imperatives that guide our interactions with others' property and lives, underscoring the enduring values of respect and restitution.This episode is dedicated to Meira Wolbe & Shimon Prupas on their engagement!!Download & Print the Class Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1O3-lipTZyLSRnHs-IIdZLTB822LyuLwc?usp=sharingRecorded in the TORCH Centre - Studio B to a live audience on February 13, 2024, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on October 13, 2024_____________DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

Parsha "Acharei Mot" (Leviticus chapters 16 through 18) is the regular reading for this week, following the Feast of Unleavened Bread. But we did take a look at that week, Mark decided to look at some of the 'common elements,' including statutes and ordinances that span the gap between chapters 18 and then 19, which begins parsha "Kedoshim." The Erev Shabbat reading explains the rationale, and the understanding to 'be 'qadosh' [set-apart, or 'holy'] because "I AM" qadosh. https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/SSM-5-3-24-Acharei-Mot-2-Kedoshim-pt-1-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 It is undeniable, when reading from the end of chapter 28 of Leviticus, and the fact that YHVH says that for committing these 'abominations' the land literally "vomited out" those inhabitants. And then He then continues, that "YOU shall be set-apart, For I YHVH am 'qadosh.' And looking at the news, and the fact that virtually EVERY SINGLE transgression and outright abomination He outlines is now being subsidized, taught in the cesspools, and even mandated as political correctness - AmeriKa, and most of the West, are due for judgment, if not extreme vomiting out. What does that say to the rest of us? into Kedoshim: Things that Matter When Things Come Apart " https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/SSM-5-4-24-Acharei-Mot-2-Kedoshim-pt-1-Things-that-Matter-when-Things-Come-Apart-Yahushua-vs-jesus-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part teaching is here:

For we don'thave a high priest who can't be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but onewho has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin. Let us thereforedraw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, andmay find grace for help in time of need.Leviticus 16:2 And the LORD said to Moses, Speak to Aaron your brother, that hecome not at all times into the holy place within the veil before the mercy seat, whichis on the ark; that he die not: For I will appear in the cloud on the mercy seat.
The Midrash P'sikta Rabati in this week's parasha, Achareh Mot ( 3) says, fortunate is the person who, when going through a difficulty, does not complain about what's happening to him. The Midrash goes on to describe the great levels people could reach by accepting their yisurin without complaint. The Shomer Emunim writes in his ma'amar on hashgacha pratit that a person should train himself to immediately thank Hashem for every little affliction that takes place in his life. It is a tried and tested segula that embracing the way Hashem deals with a person removes the necessity to have more afflictions. It sweetens judgments and brings a great deal of kapara . The first step is to admit that whatever happened, no matter what it seemed like, came directly from Hashem. Not only does every little thing that happens to a person come from Hashem, anything that will affect a person in one way or another is also b'hashgacha pratit . Whether something happens to a person's possessions or his animals, whether an animal gets sick, how long it will be sick for, and which animal it will happen to is all min haShamayim . Rav Tzvi from Zidichov was once walking with his students and they saw a wagon with straw passing by them. The wagon was going fast and little bits of straw were falling off the back along the way. The rabbi told his students, “Every piece of straw that fell off this wagon was b'hashgacha pratit . It was determined which piece of straw needed to fall in which exact spot based on the people in the city nearby who were going to be the ones to find them. They were going to use the straw to make bricks and it was determined which brick the straw needed to be in, based on where the brick was going to be placed in the building in which it was going to be built in.” There are sparks of holiness in many inanimate objects and certain sparks need to connect to certain people's neshamot by being in their presence. These are from the deep secrets of Hashem that we can't possibly comprehend. The Shomer Emunim writes further, every leaf that falls off a tree is b'hashgacha pratit . Which leaf will fall in which order. How many people will step on each leaf. There are so many things that we can't see. There could be parts of a neshama that need tikkun inside of a leaf, as the Arizal taught us, and there is an exact order of operations that the neshama needs to achieve to make that tikkun . It's decided which fruit a worm will go inside of and eat. It's decided which fruit ends up on which person's table. It's brought down in the name of the Baal Shem Tov that if a person believes in Hashem's exacting hashgacha in every single thing that takes place, then Hashem will help him gather all of the objects that have the sparks of holiness that are necessary for his neshama and he'll be able to achieve his full tikkun in this world. This is yet another benefit that is gained by a ba'al emunah. On the other hand, if a person doesn't believe in this type of hashgacha, then chas v'shalom , he may miss out on attaining all of the nitzotzeh kedushah that his neshama needs. There are hundreds of pieces of meat in a butcher shop. A person needs siyata d'Shamaya to choose the piece that is necessary for him and his family members to eat according to their shoresh neshama . The more a person believes, the more Hashem will help him always get exactly what he needs. He'll buy the clothing that are necessary for him. He'll eat the foods that are necessary for him. And he'll be in all the right places at the right times. We don't know enough to fathom how deep the hashgacha of Hashem goes in this world, but the more we believe in it; in every last thing that happens, in every last detail, that it's all b'hashgacha , and especially if we accept the way that Hashem deals with us, the more benefits we'll have both in this world and the Next. Shabbat Shalom.

Modya and David begin this week a focus on the trait of frugality, the careful shepherding of one's resources, monetary and otherwise. The Torah portion under consideration is Acharei Mot (Leviticus 16:1-18:30). Modya and David explore how the careful allocation and conservation of resources can help to create a balance between the divine and animal energies which comprise the human being and human societies. The rite of the scapegoat is also discussed as a way to recognize, honor, and maintain the balance between these energies. Thanks for listening! Learn more about your ad choices.

Acharei Mot | Vayikra 17: Mishkan to Machaneh, by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom The pivot from cleansing to sanctity. Parashat Acharei Mot is made up of 3 segments; the first is a conclusion to the "Torat haMishkan", as it prescribes how to cleanse the Mishkan of impurities; the final segment opens up the "Torat haMachaneh", detailing how to infuse sanctity into our mundane spheres of life. The middle section, which contains five commands, seems to be both out of place and internally contradictory, presenting laws that are apparently temporary yet declaring them to be חקת עולם - a permanent rule. In this shiur, we examine ויקרא יז and present an argument for its sequence and location. Source sheet >>
