Get StartedEpilogue: What's Impure About Giving Birth?! (Part 2 of 2)
The Bible's Strange Laws Of Impurity After Childbirth
Join Ami Silver and Rivky Stern in conversation as they dive deeper into the themes that were developed in the video for parshat Tazria, "What's Impure About Giving Birth?!" Here, they discuss even more hidden connections between the Tree of Knowledge story and the laws of tumah and tahara. It turns out that the consequences of eating from the tree may indeed serve as a template for many of the laws of ritual purity we're seeing in Leviticus. What could that mean? How can these connections help us understand the deeper meaning of tumah and tahara?
