Parashat Metzorah: The Most Hidden Treasure

In this Torah portion we learn about an extraordinary disease called tzora’at. This disease was unique in that it would even contaminate inanimate matter, like rocks and limestone. The result of affliction with tzora’at was so horrific that even before a human was contaminated, the Torah ordered entire homes to be completely demolished when the disease was found to have spread to a house’s walls. And yet, our sages tell us, the demolishing of these homes was a good thing-beneficial and a blessing. In this class we will explore a theme that has been discussed for as long as we human beings have pondered the world in which we live: The link between hardships, loss and HaShem’s consistent, ever-present goodness and kindness.
