Parashat Metzora 5782: Sitting Alone Outside the Camp
Description: The graphic description in the Torah of tzaraat, leprosy, leaves modern readers alienated and baffled. Can moral flaws truly manifest physically? Aesthetics and ethics mix in this week's reading, where immoral behavior is seen by our rabbis as contagious. While the general public is encouraged to stay away from the leper, his outcry of "impure! impure!" can also be read as a call for help, empathy, and prayer.
