What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Parshat Ki Tezei Perek 17 Ki Matzei BeKirbecha when there are found in your midst one of your gates Asher Hashem Elokecha nosein loch loch which is Hashem gives you ish o isha asher yaaseh es ha'ra b'einei Hashem Elokecha lo v'risoh. When you find a man or a woman uh uh who does what is wrong in the eyes of Hashem to transgress the covenant. Now, here whenever the Torah talks about transgressing the covenant what is considered the most severe, the most severe aveirah in Torah generally is what? What is idol worship? Idol worship. There are all sorts of baddies uh for for Jews though one of them is buying retail. Uh but but uh uh the uh the uh you know it's uh yeah but that's that one we don't put him to death for that. He commits suicide for that, you know, so we we could rely on him. But uh the uh the the uh here we're talking about idol worship. First of all, he's going to go and he's going to worship idols. So what does he do? Now, here the commentaries point out normally the Torah talks about it gives a command in the male form.
