Naso: The Holy Patient
The Holy Patient
Why does the Rambam compare the Nazir to the Kohen Gadol?
This week's episode explores a striking paradox: the Nazir is both a patient in need of treatment and a model of holiness. What can this teach us about struggle, self-discipline, and spiritual growth?
Sources:Num. 6, Guide 3:48, Eight Chapters sec. 4
Pictured: Gabriël Metsu, Visit of the Physician
