The Parsha Podcast - With Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe Tazria Metzorah – Scalps and Scalpels
The process of diagnosing and purifying a person afflicted with tzaraas is long and arduous. But there was no avoiding it. It is prohibited to excise a tzaraas affliction. You must go to the priest and have him evaluate it. You must be quarantined if you are declared impure. You must undergo the long and complicated process of purification once the affliction heals. But there is one exception. In one instance, it is permitted to surgically remove the skin discoloration of tzaraas. In this Parsha podcast we learn all about the process of tzaraas and the deep and powerful lessons that we learn when from the fact that it cannot be excised, and from the unusual instance where that is permitted.
