This week in Parshat Re’eh, the Torah repeats a striking command: “Do not eat blood, for the blood is the life.” Why does the Torah emphasize this so many times, and what is the deeper meaning behind it?

We’ll explore the sacred symbolism of blood as life itself, its role in sacrifice and atonement, and why separating from this practice set Israel apart from the nations around them. From Maimonides’ view of distancing from idolatry, to our sages’ moral perspective on the value of life, Parshat Re’eh reveals a profound message about holiness, humility, and the sanctity of creation.

What does it mean for us today, and what timeless lessons can we learn from this commandment?
Watch now to discover the spiritual depth of Parshat Re’eh and its call to live with greater reverence for life.
