Description: After a startling experience, TBE member Emily Jasper reflects in this Dvar Torah on how Parashat Emor (May 6, 2023) describes the laws for purity required of the priests. But instead of clean or unclean, she discusses the liminal space of being vulnerable, as shared by the Gamliel Institute’s Nina Rubin.
