Bo: The Paschal Sacrifice and the Placing of the Blood

Posted by Michael Hattin on January 31, 2017
Topics: Pardes from Jerusalem, Bo

On the eve of the Exodus from Egypt, the people of Israel marked their doorposts and lintels with the blood of the Paschal lamb. In this week’s podcast, Rabbi Michael Hattin considers the symbolism of this puzzling act.

This podcast has been generously co-sponsored by Adina and Simon Brief in memory of Adina’s father Rabbi Dr. Joseph Neustein, HaRav Yehuda Ben Yichezkel, who lived a life of Torah and derech eretz to the fullest. It is also co-sponsored by Eli Elias in memory of his beloved grandfather Eli.
