The Parsha Podcast - With Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe Emor – Spiritual Fingerprint
The Kohanic family is the most prestigious and sanctified family in our nation. Direct descendants of the legendary Aaron, this family was consecrated as the priests of our nation. They oversee the temple and its operations, they do the service of the Temple, they process the sacrifices – they are the spiritual leaders of our people. Given their stature, they are bound by laws that apply to no other people. Our Parsha begins with two of those laws, namely the laws governing who they can and cannot marry, and the laws governing to which deceased people they can and cannot become impure. There is one very rare and unique scenario that seems totally inexplicable: the requirement for the Kohein, and even the Kohein Gadol, to render themselves impure by burying an unattended corpse. When we scrutinize this law we find something really interesting.
