Into the Verse - A Parsha Podcast
Ki Teitzei: Can We Justify the Commandment To Annihilate Amalek?
This week’s parsha includes the commandment to wipe out the memory of Amalek, the nation who attacked the Israelites shortly after the Exodus from Egypt. It’s the kind of mitzvah that makes our skin crawl in the 21st century. Why would God command wiping out an entire people? What did they do that was so evil that they deserve to be completely erased from history?
Join Ami Silver and Daniel Loewenstein as they discover how another mitzvah in this week’s parsha holds the surprising key to understanding the fight with Amalek.
