A Whole Lotta Leviticus: Our Traditional (Untraditional) Torah Study for Season 7
In our Season 7 finale, Hanna again poses as a yeshiva bocher. Shira takes her through a very special double Torah portion: Achrei Mot-Kedoshim Leviticus 16:1–20:27. She talks about why Leviticus is such a grab bag of rules and laws with seemingly no real narrative order, some of the more controversial laws on sex, homosexuality and female impurity and how to view this part of the Torah as a guide to holiness in daily life, especially in a contemporary world that is often too cruel. <a href="https://www.sefaria.org/topics/achrei-mot-kedoshim?sort=Relevance&tab=notable-sources">Read</a> Achrei Mot-Kedoshim <a href="https://chutzpod.com/donate">Support</a> Chutzpod! <a href="https://chutzpod.com/donate">Submit </a>a question <a href="https://chutzpod.com/contact">Contact</a> Chutzpod! <a href="https://chutzstack.substack.com/">Subscribe</a> to Chutzstack <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hannarosin/?hl=en">Follow Hanna</a> on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/shirastutman/">Follow Shira</a> on Instagram <a href="https://www.facebook.com/people/Rabbi-Shira-Stutman/61559195920339/">Follow Shira</a> on Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/chutzpod/">Follow Chutzpod</a> on Facebook <a href="https://www.instagram.com/chutzpod_/?hl=en">Follow Chutzpod</a> on Instagram

Is covering your mirrors during shiva a superstition or Jewish law? What about breaking the glass at a wedding? Tashlich? Rabbi Shira and Hanna discuss the ideas of Jewish luck and bad luck and where they fit into law and tradition. And they welcome a VERY special guest – Hanna’s mother Miriam. Her sister has had a string of bad accidents and she wants to know if changing her mezuzah will ward off future health scares. <a href="https://www.kveller.com/20-jewish-superstitions-that-will-absolutely-ward-off-the-evil-eye/%20">Read</a> more on Jewish superstitions <a href="https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/278476/jewish/Mezuzah.htm%20%20">Mezuzah 101</a> <a href="https://mezuzahmaven.org/checking-your-own-mezuzot/%20">Check</a> your mezuzah <a href="https://chutzpod.com/donate">Support</a> Chutzpod! <a href="https://chutzpod.com/donate">Submit </a>a question <a href="https://chutzpod.com/contact">Contact</a> Chutzpod! <a href="https://chutzstack.substack.com/">Subscribe</a> to Chutzstack <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hannarosin/?hl=en">Follow Hanna</a> on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/shirastutman/">Follow Shira</a> on Instagram <a href="https://www.facebook.com/people/Rabbi-Shira-Stutman/61559195920339/">Follow Shira</a> on Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/chutzpod/">Follow Chutzpod</a> on Facebook <a href="https://www.instagram.com/chutzpod_/?hl=en">Follow Chutzpod</a> on Instagram
