Rabbi Zakutinsky - Parshas Tazria & Metzora 5785 by Rabbi Avi Zakutinsky

Parshas Naso: Back from Beyond Our Parsha begins with the transport duties of the Leviim, followed by the laws of the Sotah and the Nazir. But suddenly, the Torah circles back to a topic we've already seen: the Metzora, the person cast out of all three camps due to spiritual impurity. Why revisit this now? Coming off Shavuos, we carry that message with us: the Torah belongs to each of us, wherever we stand, and the journey back always begins with one step forward. 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. Listen now at ParshaPerspective.com

Tazria-Metzora [Leviticus 12-15] is the first in a series of doubled parashiyot in the Book of Leviticus. With its emphasis on afflictions of the body, some caused by disease and some caused by natural processes, it has been a test for those seeking to find homiletical material connected to the text. It has been well said that doubling up makes the task easier in that there is only one difficult week, rather than two. Nevertheless, the parashiyot do raise some fascinating questions for the modern mind. Can we envision a priestly Judaism in 2025? Should we place as much emphasis on the body as a tool for religious expresssion as our ancestors apparently did? What might we learn from the biblical example where the issue of tumah and taharah [impurity and purity] with respect to tzara'at [often translated, mistakenly, as leprosy] is decided by the priest rather than the disease itself? And finally, the bayit ha-menuga, the house afflicted by leprosy, is one of 3 cases [the other two being the stubborn and rebellious son (Deuteronomy 21:18-21) and the city given over to idol worship (Deuteronomy 13:13-19], where one sage said the case never happened and another said he had personal witness. What do we make of two thoroughly incompatible opinions on the same page of the Talmud? Since this is the week, too, of Yom Ha-zikkaron [Israel's Memorial Day] and Yom Ha-atzma'ut [Israel's Independence Day], we discussed these as well [we recorded Sunday night, 4/27/2025]. We feel even more keenly the plight of the hostages who remain in Gaza, and pray even more fervently for their speedy release and for the safety of all those who defend Israel as part of the Israel Defense Forces. Shabbat Shalom.

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.

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.

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.

A very large percentage of Torah is dedicated to the laws of purity and impurity. This week's double Parshas of Tazria and Metzora largely deal with these laws. 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.

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.
