In Masechet Moed Kattan 7a, the Mishnah brings down an important concept that connects to the fundamentals of Judaism. The Mishnah teaches that if we are in the middle of the seven days of holiday (either Pesah or Sukkot) and an individual is in doubt whether he/she has tzara'at (skin impurity) we do not send the individual to the Kohen (priest). According to the our Holy Torah, the Kohen is the only person that can point to the individual with the impure blemish on his/her skin and decide whether they have this tzara'at. Another fact: once the Kohen sees the individual's blemish he must tell him/her if they are pure or impure.The Mishnah explains, according to two different opinions, the best way to AVOID getting the person who is in doubt whether they have the blemish upset! What do we learn from this? A minimum of two major fundamentals: 1) we always should stay in the direction being happy and positive and 2) being alone is actually a punishment from Hashem and we should strive to find our zivug (soulmate)! The first one is obvious because the Mishnah teaches that we do everything in the power of the Torah to avoid the Kohen to tell the individual that they are impure.
The second reason comes from the outcome. If a Kohen does tell the person they are impure, they must go outside of the camp of Israel and sit alone in a place away from everyone. This is a punishment due to slander and gossip one speaks about, because the gossip causes Hashem to create this blemish on their skin which leads to their excommunication for seven days, etc. We see from this the punishment of being alone. We all should strive to find our spouses and live a life of Torah, because this is the ultimate blessing! AND DON'T WORRY, YOU PUT THE EFFORT TO FIND YOUR SHIDDUCH AND HASHEM WILL DO THE REST!Be'ezrat Hashem tonight is the non-Jewish holiday that they look forward to year round and the night we tend to separate ourselves from their holidays and customs! May we always be PROUD OF OUR JUDAISM!
Smile, cuz Hashem loves you.
