Podcasts about Metzora

Ramban on the Torah | 5785 | 24 | Metzora, by Rav Eli Weber What is tzara'at and its connection to Yom HaAtzmaut? What is the meaning of the promised land? How is tzaraat a miracle?

En este programa hablamos de la Parasha estudiada en el Bet Midrash y lo conectamos con el relato de leproso en Marcos 1.40.

En este comenatario continuamos hablando de la Tora desde el lente de la sabiduria judia.

In this shiur, delivered in Tomer Devorah, Rav Burg examines many of the halachos of the Metzora and explains the inner nature of each one. When we take a snapshot of someone, defining them without context by their lowest moments, we fail to capture the full picture of who they are.

התוכן בדין איסור נדה לבעלה חוקרים האם זה בא מצד טומאת נדה או שזה איסור בפ"ע. בפועל מביאים ראיות שזה ענין של איסור ולא טומאה: א) ספק נדה לקולא אף שספק טומאה ברה"י טמא! ב) מדרשת חז"ל עה"פ [בסיום שישי דפ' מצורע] בנוגע לנדה וכו' "וספרה לה‏ – ‏לעצמה" למדין ש"עד א' נאמן באיסורין" ואין למדין איסור מטומאה. המעלה שבזה: קל יותר (להתחרט ו) לעשות תשובה על איסור שהאדם עושה מעל ענין של טומאה וכו', ומכיון שה' הוא מלא רחמים, פסק שזהו"ע של איסור. ובעבודה: ה' וכנס"י נמשלו לאיש ואשה, וע"י חטאים מתרחקים מה'‏ – ‏"נדה", אבל כל ענין החטאים והריחוק הוא "איסור": א) אע"פ שנמצאים ברשות היחיד‏ – ‏יחידו של עולם, ובכ"ז בנוגע "לאוסרה על בעלה"‏ – ‏"ספיקא לקולא". ב) לאמירת עדות של ב' עדים צריך ב"ד משא"כ עד א', ז.א. שבנוגע כשרות בנ"י ל"בעלה", אומר ה' שאינו צריך ב"ד של מטה ושל מעלה‏ – ‏הוא סומך על ה"עד א'"‏ – ‏הנפש האלקית שבכ"א שאומרת שהיא "כשרה לבעלה", ובמילא נותן לכנס"י "שאר כסות ועונה"‏ – ‏כל צרכיהם וכו'.‏ב' חלקים מהתוועדות י"ט כסלו ה'תשט"ו ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=02-05-2025 Synopsis There's a discussion as to whether the prohibition of a niddah to her husband results from the impurity of niddah, or if it's an independent prohibition, and the conclusion is that it's a matter of prohibition. Two proofs fir this are as follows: (1) Regarding niddah, we rule leniently in a case of doubt, even though we rule stringently in a case of doubtful impurity in a private domain. (2) The rule that “A single witness is believed for prohibitions” is derived from the verse [at the end of the shishi of parashas Metzora] regarding niddah, “…she must count for herself” – and we don't derive rules concerning prohibitions from laws of impurity. The advantage of this conclusion is that it's easier to (feel regret and) do teshuvah for a prohibition that a person violated, than for a matter of impurity (which is a decree that transcends reason etc.); since Hashem is full of mercy, He rules that this is a matter of prohibition. In terms of Divine service: Hashem and the Jewish people are compared to a husband and wife, and sin causes the Jewish people to become distanced from Hashem – a state of “niddah.” But the whole concept of sin and distance is a matter of “prohibition”: (1) Even though one is in a “private domain” – the domain of the Sole One of the world – nevertheless, with regards to “rendering her forbidden to her husband,” a case of doubt is decided leniently. (2) When two witnesses testify, it must be done in a Beis Din etc., whereas a Beis Din isn't required for one witness. Meaning, with regards to permitting the Jewish people to its “Husband,” Hashem doesn't require a Beis Din (from below or above) – rather, He relies on the “single witness” – the G‑dly soul within every Jew, which testifies that she is “fit for her Husband” – and therefore, Hashem provides the Jewish people with everything the Husband is obligated to provide etc.2 excerpts from farbrengen of 19 Kislev 5715.

Parshas Tazria & Metzora: Restoring the Soul In honor of Eretz Yisroel. May G-d protect our brave soldiers. May G-d return all the hostages in Gaza immediately. Dedicated in loving memory of Edward Ben Efraim, Shlomo Ben Edward, and Yirachmiel Daniel Ben Gedalia. For the Refuah Shlema of Pennina Bas Shoshanna Miriam and all those in need of healing. These Parshas guide us through the laws of ritual purity and the spiritual transformation of the Metzora. But the Torah's path to healing begins not with words—but with items: cedar wood, hyssop, crimson yarn, and birds. What do these symbolize, and why are they essential to restoration?

When there is Tzaraas upon a house, the Torah says one should clean out all their possessions before the Kohen inspects it. Chazal explain this is to protect the owner, out of sensitivity for him losing unkasherable vessels when they become Tamei. Why does the Torah show such sensitivity to one who deserves a public punishment, and what can we learn from it?Have a good Shabbos

The Torah portions of Tazria and Metzora feature the concentric circles of the Biblical 'disease' known as tzarat....appearing as blotches in one's skin, or garments, or even the walls of the home. What is the mystery of this phenomena? In this week's Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman share amazing insights of Torah wisdom and draw practical lessons for today.

The Vilna Gaon, in his commentary to the Book of Mishleh (16:1-4), discusses how each and every person is created as a unique and distinct being, different from all other people. We all have not only a distinctive appearance, but also a distinctive set of qualities, natural talents, and ways of thinking and processing what we see and learn. This is because every single soul is unique. No two souls are alike. This point is probably not new to most of us. But the next point made by the Vilna Gaon is fascinating. He writes that during the times when there was prophecy, a person could go to a prophet who, though prophecy, could analyze his unique soul, and on this basis advise the individual what his role and mission in the world is. The prophet could tell the person what kind of person to marry, what kind of career to pursue, what kind of activities he should be involved in, and so on, in accordance with his unique characteristics. But nowadays, the Vilna Gaon says, when we don't have prophecy, we have the power to do this ourselves. The Vilna Gaon writes that each person has a certain level of ru'ah ha'kodesh , a kind of spiritual insight resembling prophecy, which helps him identify his unique mission, what unique role he is to fill and what unique contribution he is to make. The Vilna Gaon here is teaching us something so important, and so powerful, which, I'm afraid, some people fail to realize. He is teaching us that the only thing that matters is our unique mission, our unique journey through life. What other people do, or the way other people perceive us, is irrelevant. We each have a journey to take to life – and this is what we should be focused on. So many people get distracted from their journey because they're too worried about what others think of them. They're too busy trying to impress their peers, trying to get attention, trying to win approval and admiration. Trying to impress people is so foolish, because what other people think does not matter. What matters is our journey, our mission, our efforts to achieve what we've come into this world to achieve. This is what we should be focusing on – not on impressing people. Parashiyot Tazria and Metzora deal mainly with the subject of tzara'at , a type of affliction that would befall those who indulged in lashon ha'ra – gossip and negative talk about other people. Very often, we feel the need to hear and spread gossip, to talk about other people's faults and mistakes, so that we can feel good about ourselves, so we can feel that we're better, that our lives are more impressive than theirs. This, too, is terribly foolish. Other people's mistakes and other people's faults have nothing to do with us. The fact that our fellow did this or didn't do that says absolutely nothing – nothing! – about how we're doing, about whether we're living our best life, about whether we're on the right track, whether we're fulfilling our unique mission and advancing in our unique journey. Everyone has issues of one kind or another. Everyone is struggling with something. How somebody else is managing with his issues says absolutely nothing about how we're managing with ours. Focusing on other people's struggles accomplishes nothing but diverting our attention away from the work we need to do to overcome our own struggles. Let's stop worrying less about what other people think of us, and what other people are doing, and start worrying more about working to grow, to achieve, and to pursue the goals that we have been brought into the world to achieve.

A soul-stirring teaching from Rabbi Menachem Nachum of Chernobyl (the Me'or Einayim) on Metzora — how our words create worlds, how harmful speech diminishes Divine joy, and how Torah can heal and restore the sacred power of speech. A deep reminder: Every word we speak is sacred ground.

One variant of impurity that is discussed in both parshas is that of a metzora, A metzora is someone who is stricken with the tangible illness of tzaraas caused by a variety of sins, most notably the sin of lashon hara, evil talk and slander. In Parshas Tazria we read about when it strikes a person's garment or body; and the bulk of Parshas Metzora orients around tzaraas remediation and a third type of tzaraas that afflicts the sinner's house.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

Parshaperspective.com  The release date of this episode coincides with the birthday of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. With immense dedication, the Rebbe set out to rebuild the Jewish Nation after the Holocaust, which had nearly shattered world Jewry.  The Rebbe sent Shluchim, emissaries across the globe to revitalize and reinvigorate the Jewish people. Today, his emissaries are in over 1,000 cities in 100 countries and in all 50 US States, totaling more than 4,000 institutions worldwide. Our Parsha begins with the rigorous purification process a person must undergo after their Tzara'as - leprosy is pronounced healed by a Cohen.  We find what the Cohen must do to help the purification process of a Metzora.  We learn how we must actively participate in hastening the ultimate redemption!

The Metzora (one stricken with tzaraas) is unwelcome in polite society. Even impolite society doesn't want anything to do with him. They must leave the camp. They must be alone, in seclusion, in isolation outside of the camp. They may not have close interaction with others. Others don't even want to have any interaction with them. They are afflicted with an illness no one wants to contract. A Metzora is an outcast, a pariah, ostracized from society. In this very special and topical Parsha podcast, we explore a very interesting and counterintuitive Idea. When we delineate the various people who are known to have been stricken with this disease, we observe among them one very unusual and unexpected person. Our sages tell us that Messiah is a Metzora. What does that mean? What is the significance of that? Herein we suggest some mind-bending ideas. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

On this week's episode, Modya and David are joined by the artist, writer, coach, and fellow podcaster Avrum Rosensweig to discuss parshat Metzora in the Book of Leviticus (Lev. 14:1-15:32), and what can be learned about the trait of tzedek, or righteousness. The wide-ranging discussion centers on the importance of being careful in one's speech, as one message of this parsha is how gossip and slander can throw an individual, and indeed an entire community out of balance. Modya, David, and Avrum also discuss how sacrificing for the greater good can help create and preserve healthy relationships and a righteous community. We hope you enjoy!

How involved is God in the day-to-day lives of humanity? What is the nature of divine communication to humanity? The central subject of our Parsha offers a fascinating window into this question. In antiquity - when our people were very close to the Almighty and very elevated spiritually - every sin would register as a splotch transgressor's skin, garments, or house. That served as a form of divine communication. God was signaling to the transgressor that their sin has caused a rift between them and God. Do we still have that form of communication today? In this sprawling episode we dig into this question and discover something topical and fascinating.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

The importance of mindful speech in daily life cannot be emphasized enough. Most of the world's - and our personal - problems would be solved if we all slowed down and infused our words with consciousness, discernment, and intention. We'll highlight the negative consequences of false flattery and the value of embracing silence. This week, the universe begs us to take our conversations to a deeper level, rather than filling the space with unnecessary words.Join us for the next Weekly Energy Boost with @ElishevaBalas and @DavidGhiyam.
