Birds, Blood, and Living Waters (Parashat Metzora)

April 11, 2008 | By Marisa Elana James

Media Type(s): Torah Commentary

Textual Source: Leviticus

Torah Portion: Metzora

This resource is part of the Torah Queeries collection.

The book of Leviticus details the knowledge necessary to carry out the job of the descendants of the house of Levi. The Torah makes it clear that the purity of our selves and our homes are linked; that keeping each clean and free of disease or decay is of equal importance. The author asks how we can make this notion useful today, and suggests that we can focus our energy on a spiritual cleanse.
