Metzora – 21st Century Prophecy (5782)
Description
How involved is God in the day-to-day lives of humanity? What is the nature of divine communication to humanity? The central subject of our Parsha offers a fascinating window into this question. In antiquity – when our people were very close to the Almighty and very elevated spiritually – every sin would register as a splotch transgressor’s skin, garments, or house. That served as a form of divine communication. God was signaling to the transgressor that their sin has caused a rift between them and God. Do we still have that form of communication today? In this sprawling episode we dig into this question and discover something topical and fascinating.
