The Pure Baldness: A Question on Rashi Regarding the verse,1 “If a man loses the hair of his head, he is bald; he is pure,” Rashi focuses on the words “he is bald; he is pure” and explains: {He is} pure from the impurity of nesekin {afflictions of the hair}, for he is not evaluated by the signs of the head and beard, which are places of hair, but rather by the signs of the afflictions of the skin of the flesh: white hair, healthy flesh, and spreading. We can ostensibly explain this by first introducing the following background:2 There is a fundamental dispute {among the early commentaries} regarding the exact definition of the impurity of nesekin {the specific category of Tzaraas discussed earlier in the Torah portion that afflicts the hair-bearing areas of the head and beard}.3 The Ramban4 learns that nesek implies “the hair has become removed from there” — meaning that hair the size of a split bean was removed from a person’s head or beard. {The previous passage states:} “If a man or woman has bright spots on the skin of their flesh… and the kohen looks, and behold, [there are dim white spots] on the skin of their flesh, it is a bohak which has spread on the skin; he is pure.” This teaches that these benign white spots do not generate impurity upon the person; rather, “he is pure,” he remains pure. Since this does not occur on a small portion of the head, but rather “he loses the hair of his head” {entirely, it is not an affliction}, and “he is pure.” However, according to Rashi’s commentary — which does not interpret afflictions of the head and beard as consisting of the falling out of hair 11 — we know of no law that would consider hair loss itself an affliction. Rashi there is also hair loss in a nesek (contrary to the Ramban’s understanding of Rashi) — and see projectlikkuteisichos.org 3 | The Nature of the Blemish {We are forced to say,} therefore,that Rashi learns that by stating “he is pure,” the Torah does not intend to teach that hair loss fails to generate impurity. The Source for Rashi ’s Addition We must, however, understand
