Shabbat

Double Portion Tazria Metzora Plus - Plus What? Joy for Whom?

Double Portion Tazria Metzora Plus - Plus What? Joy for Whom?
 
 
In brief, the Double Portion comes at a great time to understand today's issues
and ALSO to - look forward to BETTER THINGS:
 
Tazria talks about childbirth - and also about SOCIAL DISTANCING
 
Metzora talks about Disease - and also(with the Medrash) about FINDING HIDDEN TREASURE!
 
And Friday and Saturday we are supposed to SING HALLEL for Rosh Chodesh - the new Jewish lunar month
 
And next week is Israel Independence Day - Yom HaAtzmaut - so a LITTLE ABOUT EACH below, and
 
please take time to study the HIDDEN TREASURES in the TORAH!
 
(Thanks for that extra inspiration from my friend Zev in Israel)
 
Next week is Israel Independence Day - Yom HaAtzmaut -
and on the bright side:
you don't have to take the family to go to any parades or cookouts this year!
 
Seriously now,
It says in Tazria
AFTER GIVING BIRTH YOU BOTH NEED A LITTLE SOCIAL DISTANCING
 
BUT for A LITTLE DEEPER look:
 
Rashi reminds us the Bris for a boy is on the 8th day -
and even if a twin girl is born too - the 8th day is the Bris
 
Why think different? Because Jewish SOCIAL DISTANCING AFTER A GIRL'S CHILDBIRTH IS 14 DAYS
so maybe we should delay the Bris to "Day 14"?
 
THE MEDRASH said Yitzchak was born with a twin sister Bakol -
 
BUT THE BRIS WAS ON THE 8TH DAY - because THAT IS THE COMMANDMENT!
 
 
It says in METZORA - the Israelites coming into Israel will find some houses were plagued-
 
Hashem wanted the Kohain to have you to wait and see before fixing because-
 
You don't curse it yet! .... Why?   You Shouldn't see all the negatives only -
 
BECAUSE THE MEDRASH TEACHES:
 
SOMETIMES THE KOHAIN WILL HELP YOU FIND A HIDDEN TREASURE THERE!
That Hashem wanted you to see the potential! Always Look and Think About Hidden Treasures
 
ALSO ABOUT SMALL GIFTS

Hassidism wants us to THINK: How can we all “LIVE” the Parsha this week.

Hopefully – Please G-d - we don’t have leprosy – and I bless you also for nothing similar.

Not all of us gave birth this week - especially the guys out there
