What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Living with Emunah - Rabbi Efrem Goldberg’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

dead person. Do not become impure except for a relative. Immediate seven relatives for whom one mourns namely the mother, the father, the son, the daughter and the brother. That is who a cohen is allowed to become impure. The funeral they are allowed to attend otherwise they are prohibited. And a sister who is not married or doesn't have any children such a sister one could contaminate as well. of a husband among his people shall not contaminate himself to one who desecrated him. So what is the connection between the beginning of this para and the end of last week's para? Last week's para we ended kadoshim with uh with the laws of of arayas with the laws of prohibited relationships and now we begin with kan and what's the connection and his deals with it says the while paras concludes with prohibited sexual relations parash begins with a discussion of the laws of the kohanim whom a cohen is permitted to marry the blemishes that disqualify a coin from serving the laws of impurity which pertain specifically to the cohen what is the basis of this transition from paras kadoshim to paras. Many of the prohibitions of forbidden relationships of arayos were not imposed exclusively on the Jewish people. Even non-Jews in many of these same areas even non-Jews are prohibited in many same areas by the Noahide laws. The same at the time of the flood the earth
