Torah Talk

April 17 Parshat Tazria-Metzora   

What is the line between pure and impure, clean and dirty, holy and unholy? THis parsh discusses so many of the yucky aspects of life, many which we today consider natural processes and gives rules to return the person, fabric or dwelling back to a state of purity. Should acne or leprosy be seen as a sign of divine punishment? Should we call the rabbi if we find mold in our homes to help return the place to purity? Is sex or childbirth sacred or dirty? Would the "cures" prescribed be considered an intrusion into our private lives today?
