This week's double-reading discusses the various categories of tumah (spiritual impurity) emanating from human beings, e.g. a woman who gives birth. The bulk of our 2 Parshiyot deals with Tzara'at, a disease affecting the skin (or clothes or house) of a person, which is a physical manifestation of a spiritual disorder. Though a number of anti-social sins can cause tzara'at, the primary reason for its outbreak is Lashon Hara, improper use of speech.

Upon examination by a Kohen, one is pronounced tahor or tamei. If tamei, he is isolated outside the camp. Later, he immerses in a Mikva, brings korbanot & shaves his body as part of the purification process.

Rabbi Stewart Weiss

Was ordained at the Hebrew Theological College in Skokie, Illinois, and led congregations in Chicago and Dallas prior to making Aliyah in 1992. He directs the Jewish Outreach Center in Ra'anana, helping to facilitate the spiritual absorption of new olim.

Ten Commandment Comparison

Many have attempted to solve the question, what is THE difference which can find the common denominator between all 31 differences between the 2 versions of the Ten Commandment? This innovative article suggests that our sages already answered this with one sentence in a well-known Midrash, just most never noticed that seemingly innocent sentence. It deals with the basic difference between the masculine side of the Torah and the feminine.

“Honor Requires an Audience”+ Tu B'Shvat

Rav Kook makes some very interesting "diyukim" (deductions) from this passage in the Talmud about when to wash or moisterize (with oil) right before left, and regarding anointing one's entire body, and relates to small "timely" fixings, as opposed to general improvement.
