One of the key roles of the Priest was to distinguish\u00a0<em>tahor<\/em>\u00a0from\u00a0<em>tamei<\/em>, pure from impure. Impurity meant an individual was forbidden from entering the sacred space of the Sanctuary.<\/p>\n<p>These categories show us the contrast between God and human beings. God is immortal, humans are mortal. God is spiritual, humans are also physical, and whatever is physical can become diseased or decayed. The things that make a person\u00a0<em>tamei<\/em>\u00a0are connected to our mortality and physicality. People who have been reminded in this way of their own mortality may not enter holy space until they are healed and purified.<\/p>\n<p>The parsha begins with the laws relating to childbirth \u2013 the impurity it brings, and also the command to circumcise a male child on the eighth day. It continues with laws relating to\u00a0<em>tzara\u2019at<\/em>, often translated as leprosy, but which refers to something larger than a disease, because it affects not only people but also clothes and houses. It was the task of the Priest to examine the symptoms, and to declare the person clean or unclean, or to be separated until a clearer diagnosis could be made. The Sages see\u00a0<em>tzara\u2019at<\/em>\u00a0as a punishment for the sin of evil speech.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rabbisacks.org\/cc-family-edition-tazria-5779\/\">Download the whole parashah guide for Parashat Tazria<\/a><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":42816,"id":42816,"title":"covenant and conversation -
