Show Notes
The Metzora (one stricken with tzaraas) is unwelcome in polite society. Even impolite society doesn't want anything to do with him. They must leave the camp. They must be alone, in seclusion, in isolation outside of the camp. They may not have close interaction with others. Others don't even want to have any interaction with them. They are afflicted with an illness no one wants to contract. A Metzora is an outcast, a pariah, ostracized from society. In this very special and topical Parsha podcast, we explore a very interesting and counterintuitive Idea. When we delineate the various people who are known to have been stricken with this disease, we observe among them one very unusual and unexpected person. Our sages tell us that Messiah is a Metzora. What does that mean? What is the significance of that? Herein we suggest some mind-bending ideas.
