About this episode

This episode explores the roles of Kohanim and Levi’im in the Temple service, contrasting interpretations from Rashi and Rambam.

In Parshas Korach, the verses differentiates between Kohanim and Levi’im — one receives directly from Hashem, while the other receives through serving the people. This episode explores a deeper question: are the Levi’im mainly serving the Kohanim, or do they have their own independent Temple mission alongside the Kohanim? Through the contrast between Rashi and Rambam, we uncover two ways to understand the role, service, and reward of the Levi’im.
