III-5 Metzora THE KOHEN and THE METZORA The parasha continues with the themes of Tazria, examining the Metzora exiled outside the community. The Kohen is to go to the Metzora for an examination after the seventh day. If he is healed he is to make a sacrifice and return on the eighth day—the same day as brit milah or circumcision, symbolizing spiritual rebirth and re-entry into the covenant of God. The Eighth Day then is a day of redemption, of renewed commitment to God. The ritual for purification of the Metzora mirrors the ritual of the consecration of the priests with the acknowledgement of rededication of life to God's laws. Man made in the image of God, reaffirms his desire to live in God's image. vayikra • leviticus • metzora • the kohen and metzora • baal teshuva
III-4 Tazria Social Leprosy with a Jaundiced Eye Tazria is concerned with the laws governing childbirth,"brit milah"-circumcison and tzar'as-"leprosy" with its associated physical and spiritual impurities. Tazria balances birth with its hope of new life and creativity with warnings of degenerative disease that corrupt the person, physically and spiritually, appearing in the clothes and home and extending to society. Tzara'as or "leprosy" is a spiritual and physical illness, corrupting the life of a person. Only the Kohen administered diagnosis. Rabbinical interpretion explores the passage metaphorically, acknowledging that spiritual corruption is contagious and, unless isolated, is a malignant cancer in society. Isolation is imposed on contagious diseases: scarlet fever or diptheria. Such plagues fall on the good and the bad, the innocent and the guilty, but "tzara'at", frequently translated as leprosy, is asssociated to "lashon hara" –slander. Slander and gossip corrupt society, defacing it as a degenerative disease that mutilates the body while robbing it of its functions. tazria • vayikra • leviticus • books of moses • lashon hara

One of the better-known occasions is when he transformed himself into the female enchantress, Mohini.

IV-3 Beha'aloscha KINDLING SOULS Bela'aloscha includes instructions regarding the Menorah and priestly duties for the Levites, and for Pesach Shaynie, Second Pesach, one month after Pesach. The tribes of Israel move with the Pillar of Clouds. When it rests, they rest, and when it moves, they follow. This at times causes some iconveniences as there is no pre-arranged travel itinerary and they unpack to pack back up or remain in a desolate place longer than they desire. The people complain about a steady diet of manna and demand meat, so they receive quail until they gorge themselves. Moses invites Jethro to remain with them and enter the promised land, but he declines. The seventy elders/leaders are chosen and the Sanhedrin established. At the end of the section, Miriam comments about her brother Moses to Aaron and is punished for Lashon Hara with tzaaras and is exiled outside the camp for a week. beha'aloscha • beha'alotekha • bamidbar • numbers • parasha studies
IV-5 Korach: Envy and Insurrection The devastating effects of Miriam's comments regarding her brother have a cascading effect through Parasha Shelach Lecha and Korach through the returning spies inciting unrest in the Israelite camp with their distorted vison of Canaan and Korach defying the authority of Moses and Aaron, while encouraging Dathan And Abiram to rebel. The unity which was found at the foot of Mt Sinai in the giving of Torah has already disintegrated before the Israelites continue their journey in the wilderness. No quick entry into the Promised Land is gained. Rather than accept responsibility for failure, fault is found in leadership. Korach is a Levite while Abiram and Dathan are from the tribe of Reuben. Challenged by the antagonistic ccussations of Korach, Moses answers him fairly and places the matter before God, rather than taking it into his own hands. The earth cracks open and swallows the insurgents and a plague falls upon the Israelites in punishment of their faithlessness and fickleness. The surviving Levites are attached to Aaron as ministers at the Tent of Meeting. The parasha concludes with the duties of the Levites and descriptions of offerings which they preside. korach • korah • levites • insurrection • numbers

V-10 HaAzinu: Our Father, our King, our Judge Parsha HaAzinu, the shortest parasha section, is called the Song of Moses. It is the last parasha read on a Friday evening following Yom Kippur before the Torah is begun again with Bereshit. The last parasha, V'zoth HaBerach, the Blessing of Moses, is read on Simcha Torah. HaAzinu is tightly related to Yom Kippur in which we stand before God as in the court of a King, pleading forgiveness of the sins we have committed in the previous year. Public confession of sins is chanted in unison in a formal setting of words and music for all people have committed sins together. We have lied, we have bribed, we have scoffed, we have slandered... In confession, we recognize the sovereinity of God our King whose rule is from eternity to eternity and whose throne is in the ehavens and footstool upon the earth. We stand humbled, aware of our mortality and fallibility. No one person is holier than another, but all stand before God for his justice, mercy and redemption. The Song of Moses recounts the exodus from Egypt and the erring ways of the Israelites, their Sinaitic experience and the rebellion of Golden Calf and Korach; the mumblings and groanings of a discontented nation. Moses, confronting his final moments, knows the immediacy of final judgement as he submits to embrace his death. haazinu • devarim • deuteronomy • song of moses • shirim
