Description

The number seven plays a crucial role in both Judaism and Jewish folklore -- from the seven days of creation to the seven blessings pronounced at Jewish weddings. Rabbi Dunner shares a Nesivos Sholom that examines the centrality of the number "seven" in Jewish tradition, via the requirement for a seven-day quarantine for women who have just given birth, and a similar confinement for those who are diagnosed with tzara'at. A selection of fascinating revelations by the Nesivos Sholom sheds light on one of the key elements of the Jewish faith.
