The parshiyot of Acharei Mot and Kedoshim contain much disparate material but both sections conclude with a similar description of the holiness of the land of Canaan. In this podcast, we consider the nature of this holiness and how the Torah transforms it from the mythological to the rational and from the magical to the moral.
