In this week's section we learn the commandment of circumcision (Brit Mila). "On the eighth day remove the flesh of the foreskin."
This commandment is very strange.
Why did G-d give Abraham the circumcision and then give it again hundreds of years later? |

This week's section deals mostly with the laws of Tzoraa't: a terrible, now extinct, skin disease caused particularly by the sin of 'loshon Ha'ra' (saying harmful things about others).
But the name of this section seems to indicate something else: 'Tazria' means to 'give seed' and bear children! |

This Shabbat we read the Torah portion called 'Tazria' which deals mostly with the laws of Tzoraat; a Torah impurity disease caused by sins.
And this coming week we begin the month of Nissan, the first Month of the Jewish calendar when G-d took the Jews from Egypt over 3300 years ago. |
