1. Tzara'at of the House

   Rabbanit Sharon Rimon

   Tzara'at of the house is one of three types of afflictions mentioned in the parshiyot of Tazria-Metzora. However, it is mentioned separately from the other two, and has distinct characteristics. What causes the affliction of this type of tzara'at? Why does the first verse in the description of tzara'at of the house sound like the herald of some auspicious declaration or promise? What is the connection between tzara'at of the house and the entrance into the land of Israel? 

2. Tazria - The Tzaraat Process

   Rabbi Jonathan Snowbell

   תאריך פרסום: תשע"ח | | 17 minutes

   Parashat Tazria discusses the laws of tzaraat. We examine tzaraat, along with its associations with purity and impurity states. We emphasize that all of these issues and labels are spiritual, not medical labels.

3. Tazria - Metzora and Malachi - Preparing for the Mikdash and the Meaning of Metzora

   Rabbi Jonathan Snowbell

   תאריך פרסום: תש"ע | | 10 minutes

   What is the role of the Beit HaMikdash in society, and where should we focus our efforts in relating to the missing Mikdash? Verses from the Book of Malachi, specifically ones from the Haftara for Shabbat Hagadol, highlight this question. Are we to focus on the Mikdash specifically, or building a foundation of a good and just society - or might elements of both be appropriate?

   We turn to Parashat Tazria - Metzora and consider the different types of tzaraat mentioned in the Torah, while beginning to get into the mindest of the metzora. What is the significance of each type of tzaraat (tzaraat of the body, clothing, or house), and what is the relative severity of each?  What significance is there in the order of the different types?

4. Shabbat HaGadol and Tazria - Metzora: Foundations of Mikdash and Society and the Different Tzaraat Types

   Rabbi Jonathan Snowbell | 10 minutes

   Using the beginning of the Haftara of Shabbat HaGadol as our jumping-off point, we ask: What is the role of the beit hamidkash in society? It is meant to be built on the foundations of a good society. Where should we focus our efforts  - on the mikdash specifically, or on building the foundation of a good society? How can the two be combined? We move on to Parashat Metzora and look at the three types of Tzaraat, the body, clothing, and house.  We examine the symbolism of the order and the significance of each. How severe is or was each type? 

5. Ramban on Tazria - Ki HaDavar Nes

   Rabbi Ezra Bick | 34 minutes

   The Torah mentions different types of tzaraat, and Ramban expresses surprise and confusion at the mention of tzaraat of clothing and of houses:  he says it does not exist - that there no natural phenomenon of the sort. Is this a completely hypothetical Halacha?

7. Parshat Metzora Part 3: Pesach & Purification Of the House

   Shani Taragin | 26 minutes

   This podcast concludes the laws of tzaraat with the process of the purification from tzaraat of the house. We notice that this process is closely related to the process of purification from a tzaraat on a person, and discuss the general structure of the laws of tzaraat throughout parshiot Tazria- Metzora.
