From Priest to People (Rabbi Sacks on Kedoshim, Covenant & Conversation)

The Office of Rabbi Sacks

Welcome to Rabbi Sacks' commentary on the weekly Torah portion. This series of Covenant & Conversation essays examines the ethics we can derive from the Torah, week-by-week, parsha by parsha. You can find the full written article on Kedoshim available to read, print, download translations, and share, by visiting: www.rabbisacks.org/covenant-conversation/kedoshim/from-priest-to-people/ For more articles, videos, and other material from Rabbi Sacks, please visit www.RabbiSacks.org and follow @RabbiSacks. The Rabbi Sacks Legacy Trust continues to share weekly inspiration from Rabbi Sacks. This piece was originally written and recorded by Rabbi Sacks in 2019. Covenant & Conversation on Ethics is kindly supported by the Maurice Wohl Charitable Foundation in memory of Maurice and Vivienne Wohl z”l. Parshat Kedoshim is the parsha being read in Israel this week. For those outside of Israel, this week's parsha is Acharei Mot, and our weekly piece from Rabbi Sacks is entitled The Scapegoat (https://www.rabbisacks.org/covenant-conversation/acharei-mot/the-scapegoat/)
