Episode 265 - Parshat Acharei Mot-Kedoshim: The Double-Sided Coin of 'Kiddush Hashem'

About this episode

Rabbanit Dr. Adina Sternberg discusses the concept of 'Kiddush Hashem' in relation to Ashkenazic and Sephardic Haftarah selections.

In this conversation, Rabbanit Dr. Adina Sternberg helps us understand the role played by the concept of 'Kiddush Hashem' in both the Ashkenazic and Sephardic Haftarah selections. Both prophecies of rebuke remind the people that their reputation must be earned, but that redemption can come whether or not they are worthy. This week's episode has been sponsored by Talia K Sanford in celebration of a personal milestone. This year the Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftarah.
