Shiur from Rabbi Elimelech Kohn Ztl on פרשת אחרי מות. Discussed: - R' Yaakov Emden brings a historical account written by a Roman who describes the Avodah of the Kohen Gadol in the Bais Hamikdash on Yom Kippur. - The Gemara says that a ממזר Talmid Chochom comes before a Kohen Gadol who is an עם הארץ. This can be illustrated with the story brought in the Gemara about Sh'maya & Avtalyon who met a Kohen Gadol on Motzei Yom Kippur, as explained by the Maharsha. - R' Yisrael Salanter points out that the Kohen Gadol on Yom Kippur in the Kodesh Hakodashim, is the holiest person in the holiest place during the holiest time, and that the Torah is more precious even than that!
