Our Parsha of Tazria begins a long section dealing with laws of purity & impurity. We discuss the woman who gives birth & her subsequent 7 or 14 day period of tuma, depending on the sex of the child.

Then the Sedra begins discussing the issue of tzara'at, which is a physical manifestation of a spiritual malady (of the 6 listed in the Talmud, Lashon Hara – speaking ill of others, slander & gossip - is the most well-known). The Kohen, who serves as a spiritual doctor, diagnoses the tzara’at & decides whether it can be removed, or if the patient needs quarantine. Tzara’at can also occur in a garment or a building.

    Relationships during the Time of Engagement

    A young engaged man and his fiancée naturally have very strong feelings for each other. It goes without saying that these will be expressed after the wedding, but what expression, if any, is permitted in the meantime? And while we're on the subject, is the attraction of men and women to each other really a good thing to begin with?

    The Laws Relating to Converts

    The laws relating to Jewish converts are most astounding. Despite the criticism directed at the Jewish people on the grounds that Judaism is racist, the Torah teaches us that any non-Jew who earnestly seeks to join the Jewish people may do so.
