CLD #229

The Parasha we read this morning, Parasha Tazriya, speaks about the concept of Tzara'at (leporsy) and the laws of Tumah and Tahara regarding Yehudim in Machane Yisrael (the camp of Israel). These concepts have a stereotype of not being relevant to our lives. However, being at the Yeshivat Netiv Aryeh annual alumni shabbaton, we all received an endless amount of chizuk from the Rabbanim regarding the relevancy of Tzara'at and the "blockage" that is caused by our Chata'im that distance us from Hashem.

The plunger of Am Yisrael that
 helps us rconnect with
Hashem is
ONLY the Torah HaKdosha!

According to the Netivot Shalom, the punishment of Tzara'at is caused by 10 different types of Chata'im. One of them which is the most popular in our generation unfortunately is Glui Arayot, or sexual immorality. This is one of the sins that causes a "blockage" between us and Hashem that prevents us from reaching our highest spiritual potentials. In the parasha it explains that someone who has this issue goes to a Cohen and follows and very detailed process in order to become Tahor (pure) from this skin disease after doing tshuva and leaving Machane Yisrael.
Why is it so important to say that this person needs to go to a Cohen? Because a cohen is a person that is an example of the perfect Yehudi. He is one that symbolizes true love for another person, who works on his heart, and simply is a sign of leadership and dvekut Hashem. In our generation this a is a tzadik, a Rabbi or a spiritual leader/role model. In order for us to get away from the life of doing Chata'im and distancing ourselves from Hashem, and entering a world full of depression and emptiness, we need to stick to our Cohen, to our Rabbi or simply to our own Tzadik.

What do you chase after?

B'H we will have the zchut to run away from the Chata'im and desires that are against the Torah and the way a yehudi is supposed to live and we will run after Torah and Mitzvot knowing what our full potentials are and how much we can do positively in a ruchani viewpoint!


SHAVUA TOV :D
