CONTENTS
- What does it mean to be purified 'לִפְנֵי ה (lifnei Hashem, before God)?
- Who is the Torah for?
- In the absence of the Beit HaMikdash, there is no way for any person to become fully tahor. Does that mean we are further away from God now?
- A core part of the Yom Kippur service involves two goats. What do these goats represent?
- Commentary / פַּרְשָׁנוּת
- The parashah tells us to “Va-hai bahem” literally meaning “and live in them.” But what does that actually mean?!
- Usually, the kohen gadol wears additional clothing, which is fancier and full of gold. Why plain linen on Yom Kippur?
