Rabbi Immanuel Bernstein 2024 / 5784 MESHECH CHOCHMAH Parshas Tazria Tzoraas and the Kohen ‫ ְלְ ֶנֶַגַע ָצָ ָרַעַ ת ְוְ הּוָבָ א ֶאֶ ל ַאֲהֲ ֹרֹן ַהַ ֹּכּ ֵהֵ ן אֹוֹ ֶאֶ ל ַאַחַ ד ִמִ ָּבּ ָנָיו‬...ֹ‫ָאָדָ ם ִּכּ י ִיְִהְ ֶיֶה ְבְ עֹוֹר ְּבּ ָׂשׂרֹו‬ ‫ַהַ ֹּכֲּהֲ ִנִים‬ If a person will on the skin of his flesh… an affliction of tzoraas, he shall be brought to Aharon the Kohen, or to one of his sons the kohanim. JOURNEYS INTORAH Examining the Metzora ‫ ְוְ ָרָאהּו ַהַ ֹּכּ ֵהֵ ן‬...‫ְוְ ָרָאה ַהַ ֹּכּ ֵהֵ ן ֶאֶ ת ַהַ ֶּנַּגַע‬ The Kohen shall look at the affliction… the Kohen shall look at it… (13:2-3) The idea of the Kohen seeing the tzoraas affliction is mentioned twice in our pasuk. If so, why does the pasuk say “‫– ”וראהו הכהן‬ referring to considering the person’s circumstances after it states “‫ – ”וראה הכהן את הנגע‬referring to his examination of the tzoraas itself, given that the person’s circumstances are considered first in order to determine whether or not the Kohen should examine the affliction? It is for this reason the Torah places the metzora’s treatment in the domain of the kohanim, for, having been separated from the rest of the people to enter Hashem’s domain,4 they are subject to a higher level of Divine supervision, and will thus be vouchsafed from harm in their interaction with the metzora. Rabbi Immanuel Bernstein • Meshech Chochmah Parshas Tazria - Examining the Metzora | 2 The meaning of this second element is that in addition to examining the affliction, the Kohen needs to consider the situation of the person himself before pronouncing him tamei. This idea is reflected in the halachah which states that the Kohen does not examine a potential metzora either during one of the three Regalim festivals, or during the week in which the person got married.6 It is not considered appropriate to mar his joy during those times by him being certified as a metzora, therefore, the appointm
