Tazria – M’tzora (Leviticus 12:1-15:33)
This Week’s Torah Portion: Tazria – M’tzora – תַזְרִיעַ – מְצֹרָע (Leviticus 12:1-15:33)
These are two portions about all kind of skin Diseases and body discharges, not the best read during a global pandemic.
However these are not the kind of diseases we know, they are spiritual diseases.
One of these is the leprosy of the home, homes, as we know, do not get skin disease, so what is it about? It is about social illnesses that make the society in general unhealthy.
Teaching us that social illnesses can be as deadly is real sickness.
