MY DAILY LIFE TORAH COACH: Double Parasha n.28 Tazria n.29 Metzora

Double Parasha n.28 Tazria n.29 Metzora

Tazria-Metzora invites us to look beneath the surface​, literally. It’s not just about ancient skin conditions, but about the way our internal state manifests outwardly. The affliction of tzara’at appears when there’s a misalignment between our soul and our speech, especially when negativity or judgment spills into the way we speak about others. But rather than punishment, the isolation that follows is sacred space​ and time set apart to listen inward, to reckon with what’s been said or left unsaid. It’s a process of spiritual detox.

These parshot teach that real healing comes when we slow down enough to notice what our lives are trying to tell us. Sometimes, what looks like a breakdown is actually the beginning of a return​ toward integrity, toward empathy, toward the Divine.
