Tazria Metzora 5781 – the Messiness of Life

Introduction

The book of Vayikra introduces us to a whole new lexicon of terms for our spiritual life. This podcast introduces the ideas of tumah and taharah – purity and impurity – and illuminates some of their aspects through two examples from Tazria-Metzora.
