Tzav 5785: Pesach and the Covenant of Life

What does Pesach teach us about freedom, growth, and responsibility?

In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield is joined by Rabbi Dr. Irving (Yitz) Greenberg for a special conversation on Parshat Tzav, the sacrificial system, and the deeper messages of Pesach. They explore how Judaism’s vision of life, covenant, and moral progress plays out through laws like kashrut and the evolution of sacrifice. Drawing from Rabbi Greenberg’s new book The Triumph of Life, they examine how Torah guides us toward a future where life, dignity, and ethical living prevail.
