Ep 14. Acharei Mot-Kedoshim: What Does Yom Kippur Have To Do With Megillat Esther? Parsha Lab from Aleph Beta
-
- Religion & Spirituality
In Acharei Mot, we learn about the priest’s Yom Kippur service in the Tabernacle. But there’s something very interesting about the language used to describe this section — it’s strikingly similar to the story of Megillat Esther. What does Yom Kippur -- with its themes of repentance and closeness to God -- have to do with Esther? Join Rabbi Fohrman and Rivky as they re-examine these two texts, and never think Acharei Mot or Megillat Esther the same way again.
