Parashat Tazria - Metzora 5783: Weaponized Words

The 'tzarat' affliction, a spiritual phenomenon with physical symptoms, conveys a sobering, corrective lesson in the terrible consequences of evil speech. A much-needed truth for our times!
The two portions of Tazria and Metzora (Lev. 12 : 1 - 15 : 33) are read on Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh, 1 Iyar, 5783 - April 22, 2023

Gentile here. My soul aches that I was not raised with this wisdom. How different would be my life! Thank you for teaching. Zachariah 8:23

Beautiful teaching thank you! Shavua tov

Shabbat Shalom Rabbi Richman. May you always go from strength to strength.!

Almost 20 yrs a ago now, I bought Chofetz Chain's book - "A daily Companion - the concepts and laws of proper speech". That book changes my life like no other ever has. I could NOT get far enough away from gossip after reading that book. And gloating!! He wrote about that too and I felt so bad about my gloating when something went sideways for an adversary after reading this book! In fact, I went and got it out today after listening to your video/podcast.

[@ellenlefavour628]

Shabbat shalom - powerful and deep teaching. Baruch HaShem we do not have to suffer this affliction now, because there would not be enough Cohen to diagnose.

[@sammyvh11]

This was my bar mitzvah haftorah in 1971

[@RossAndersonCureTheCDC_NOW]

Thank you Rabbi, are you a Cohen? Would you be willing to speak with me? I have many questions about this subject...

[@kimlizotte694]

Just a quick question, are the Cohenim from the tribe of Levi?

[@MFPhoto1]

@@kimlizotte694 Yes. They are the direct descendants of Aaron though an unbroken male line.
