The Hidden Message Behind Torah’s Forbidden Mixtures - Parshat Ki Teitzei - Rabbi Dovid Kaplan

Why does the Torah forbid so many different kinds of mixtures? Wool and linen. Meat and milk. Different animal species. Different agricultural species. At first, these mitzvot seem completely unrelated. But put them together—and a fascinating pattern begins to emerge. In this Torah class on Parshat Ki Teitzei, Rabbi Kaplan reveals a deeper message hidden inside some of Judaism’s most unusual commandments.
