Get StartedA Deeper Look At The Priestly Role: Epilogue (Part 2 of 2)

As discussed in the first video, the Metzora is considered like a dead person before going through the entire purification process. There's a part – the communal part – that has withered away and died. Did, perhaps, the communal part of Kohanim die? How does this deepen our empathy towards Jewish priests and leaders today?
