Why isn’t a priest allowed to mourn his own wife? In the Torah portion of Emor, we see only six relatives for which a priest may become ritually impure. But what about his wife? Could this omission reveal a deeper biblical message about marriage? Join us as we unpack the surprising rabbinic insight that elevates the wife to “one flesh” status, rooted in Adam’s first encounter with Eve. What does this teach us about divine compassion, marital unity, and how God truly values the sacred bond of marriage? Prepare to have your assumptions challenged and your appreciation for biblical marriage profoundly deepened.
