What Happens to a murderer | Six Cities of Refuge

What’s said in this shiur

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

If a man or a woman kill someone accidentally, unintentionally, inadvertently, for example, you are walking down a ladder and you fall, you slip and you topple upon someone's head and you kill that person. You need to run to the city of refuge called the miklot. And you are supposed to be there until And you are supposed to be there until the death of the high priest until the death of the kohhing. It's called the mikl. What happens if you don't run to the city of refuge? What happens if you stay outside the city of refuge says the Torah? Then the goyel had which is the avenger of the blood a family member of the one that is deceased that was murdered that was killed has a right to go and kill you. and he is not liable and he is not liable and therefore you are to stay in that city of refuge. You cannot even come out for the sake of a mitzvah to be a tent for a minion. You can't leave the city for a baritzvah for a bris for a family sim. You have to stay there until the passing the death of the coal until the passing of the high priest. Now the question comes to mind why do we connect this murderer with the death of connect this murderer with the death of the high priest says like this there are two reasons there are two reasons why it is dependent upon the high priest number one is the job of the high priest is to bring the divine presence god's holiness to rest amongst the people of Israel and to increase the length of the lifespan of the people of Israel.
