Rosner’s Torah Talk: Emor with Joshua Krug

[additional-authors]
April 30, 2021

Joshua Krug earned a B.A. with Honors and Distinction from Yale, an MDiv from Harvard, and a PhD from NYU. He sits at the intersection of vision and implementation in Jewish education, with experience facilitating high school, gap-year, college, young adult, and adult Jewish learning and meaning-making. He lives to empower diverse persons to experience Jewish texts and contexts as powerful resources as they transform the world. Krug’s writings can be found in EJP, Tablet, Substack, and Opening Doors.

This week’s Torah Portion – Parashat Emor (Leviticus 21:1-24:23) – begins with a set of purity regulations for priests. It then continues to list the main high holidays and to tell the story of a blasphemer who is stoned to death by the community.
