What do you do with a Leper? Portion of Metzora
What do you do with a Leper? Portion of Metzora
Of course - you CURE them!
And when it's time for them to return to the community -
the Torah says "you take for them 2 birds ..."
Later in the Portion Metzora - about other sacrifices -
it says "They will take" -
so the secret of the DIFFERENCE we can only learn from Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach (zatza"l)
Who's more a leper to society than the people roaming the streets?
One of the Rabbis of Manhattan once told me
"Rabbi Shlomo took us on a tour of Riverside Park-
at midnight last night-
and he taught us how to do the Mitzva of Charity-
we went around and talked with all the HOMELESS people
sleeping in the park
and gave them some money -
but the most important was to talk with them"
Because the Torah says "take for them 2 birds"
the Kohen helps them in the process of returning to the community ...
Let us all be a part of the redemption as we prepare for Passover
Love and Shabbos from Israel
