Parashat Metzora 5784: Aliyah by Aliyah ֵ ּ‫זֹ֤את תּ ִֽהְ יֶ ה֙ תּ וֹ ַ ֣רת הַ מְּ צ ָֹר֔ ע בְּ י֖וֹ ם טָ ה ֳָרת֑ וֹ וְ הוּבָ ֖א אֶ ל־הַ כ‬ (‫ ב‬,‫ֹהֽ ן )מצורע יד‬ “This shall be the ritual for the afflicted with tzara’at on the day of his purification; he shall be brought to the priest.” (Leviticus 14:2) First Reading: Tzara’at as Closure Our portion discusses the healing of tzara'at and purification from it. Elevating above reality without a complementary and balanced return causes spiritual death—defined as forfeiting one’s spiritual level—as alluded to in the verse “they die, but not with wisdom”25 (‫)יָמו ּתו ּ וְ לֹא בְ ּ חָ כְ מָ ה‬, meaning that without wisdom there is (spiritual) death, but that with wisdom, i.e., with proper return to reality, there is no loss of one’s previous spiritual level. Just as speaking idle words closed the person in a cycle guided by a spirit of folly (‫ )רו ּחַ ׁשְ טו ּת‬that blocked the power of renewal of his sacred energy, so too, an abundance of holy letters emitted through speech will reopen the blocked channels of wisdom and allows him to innovate holy and novel Torah thoughts and express them.

Here, the act of might is the ritual slaughter of the metzora’s offering: “And he shall slaughter the lamb in the place where he shall slaughter the sin offering and the burnt offering.” 37 When describing the location where the guilt offering is to be sacrificed, the Torah uses what seems to be very cumbersome language: “He shall slaughter the lamb in the place where he slaughters the sin offering and the burnt offering” ( ‫ו ְׁשָ חַ ט אֶ ת הַ כֶּ בֶ שׂ בִ ּ מְ קוֹם אֲ ׁשֶ ר י ִׁשְ חַ ט אֶ ת‬ ‫)הַ חַ טּ ָ את וְאֶ ת הָ עֹלָה‬.
