The Obligation to Heal — R' Steven Philp


Listen Later

Today's episode is a Shabbat Replay of our service on April 18th when Rabbi Steven gave a sermon on our tradition's treatment of those with so-called leprosy. At first glance, the Torah's attitude toward people with skin disease is exclusionary, but commentator have found deep wisdom about rest and healing under the epidermis.

If this podcast has helped you find rest or healing, we encourage you take just thirty seconds and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen — it would help us a lot.
