Why Israel still refuses to recognize a century-old genocide
Many have urged the government to change its approach to Turkey’s
killing of 1.5 million Armenians, but geopolitical considerations prevail.
Members of the Armenian community march with flags and torches on
April 23, 2015, in Jerusalem’s Old City, on the eve of the 100th anniversary
of the mass killings of Armenians under the Ottoman Empire in 1915.
Addressing the United Nations in New York on International Holocaust
Remembrance Day earlier this year, President Reuven Rivlin dedicated
a large chunk of his speech to the fate of the Armenian people,
who were killed by the hundreds of thousands between 1915 and 1923. [...]

No Tears for Dead Al-Qaeda Hostage Warren Weinstein;
Loved Muslims More Than Fellow Americans, Jews
by Debbie Schlussel
This morning, in a live announcement, President Obama told us that American Al-Qaeda hostage Warren Weinstein
was killed in an American operation to kill Al-Qaeda operative Adam Gadahn and other American-born terrorists.
No tears from me. In fact, Weinstein and Gadahn have something in common other than their American Jewish roots.
It’s the fact that both were “American” In Name Only. […]

Welcome to Tazria-Metzora
(She Conceives and Infected One), this week’s
double Torah portion. These two portions of Torah are
combined to accommodate the number of Sabbaths this year.
They will be read in synagogues around the world during the
Shabbat (Saturday) service.
Please read along with us. We know you will be blessed!
Tazria (She
Conceives) / Metzora (Infected One)
Leviticus 12:1–15:33; 2 Kings
4:42–5:19, 7:3–20; Matthew 8:1–4, 11:2–6; Mark 9:14–15
“The LORD spoke to Moses,
saying, ‘Speak to the people of Israel, saying, If a woman
conceives (bears seed) and bears a male child, then she
shall be unclean [tameh] seven days. As at the time of her
menstruation, she shall be unclean.’” (Leviticus 12:1–2)
In last week’s Torah portion (Shemini), God commanded the
kosher laws, identifying which animals were fit for
consumption. It also discussed some of the laws of ritual
purity, instructing the Israelites “to make a distinction between the
holy and the profane, and between the unclean and the
clean.” (Leviticus 10:10)
This week’s double portion of Scripture (Tazria-Metzora)
continues with the laws of ritual purity (tahorah)
and impurity (tumah).
Open Torah scroll
The Purification of
Tzaraat
“And the leper in whom the
plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and the hair of his
head shall go loose, and he shall cover his upper lip, and
shall cry: ‘Unclean, unclean [tameh, tameh]. All the days
wherein the plague is in him he shall be unclean; he is
unclean; he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his
dwelling be.’” (Leviticus 13:45–46)
Both Tazria and Metzora focus on the laws of
leprosy, a spiritual condition that causes the afflicted to
become impure.
These portions outline laws regarding how to handle the metzora, the one who
is infected, as well as how he or she may be purified
once healed.
The Hebrew word that is translated leprosy, tzaraat,
does not actually correspond to the modern day affliction of
leprosy. Its origin is spiritual, but it obviously has a
physical manifestation. The condition is identified by a
priest, not by a doctor.
In fact, tzaraat can
afflict a person, house, or article of clothing.
Synagogue in Germany
How does the community of Israel deal with a
person afflicted by tzaraat—a metzora?
Once it is confirmed through a series of tests that the
condition is indeed tzaraat, the metzora is declared tameh (impure or
unclean). The afflicted one is then isolated from
the community in order to prevent defiling and infecting
others through contact. The metzora must dwell alone outside
the camp until completely healed.
It is the role of the priest to periodically check on the
afflicted person to determine when he or she can return to the
community, so it can once again be whole.
In terms of a house, however, if the tzaraat spreads after
a week of quarantine, the infected stones are removed and
thrown in an impure place. If
the lesions reappear after the stones are replaced and the
house is scraped and re-plastered, then the entire house
is destroyed. Its stones, wood, and dust
are carried away to an impure place.
“Behold, if the plague be
spread in the house, it is a malignant leprosy in the house;
it is unclean. And he shall break down the house, the
stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of
the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city
into an unclean place.” (Leviticus 14:44–45)
Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem
Once a metzora is healed, he or she then goes through the
purification process outlined in the Torah.
“The Lord spoke to Moses,
saying, ‘This shall be the torah
[instructions] for the leprous person [תּוֹרַת
הַמְּצֹרָע] for the day of his
cleansing.’” (Leviticus 14:1–2)
For the healing process to be complete, and the metzora
reintegrated into the community, a complex series of offerings
are made, beginning on the first day with two clean birds—one
that is killed and one that is released.
Although the metzora may now return to the community, he
must live outside his tent for seven days. On the seventh
day, the metzora shaves off all hair, including the eyebrows,
and bathes in water.
As part of the ceremony, on the eighth day of the
purification process, the priest (Cohen) places some of the
oil and blood of the guilt offering (male lamb) upon the tip
of the right ear of the one being cleansed, and upon the thumb
of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot. (Leviticus
14:10–14)
This represents
atonement and cleansing of everything we hear, everything
we do, and every path we take.
Jewish men gather to pray at the Western (Wailing) Wall in Jerusalem.
The Cause of Tzaraat
"Whoever of you loves life
and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from
evil and your lips from telling lies." (Psalm 34:12–13)
Judaism considers gossip and slander a type of
“moral leprosy,” and the rabbis regard tzaraat as
an affliction from God as punishment primarily for destructive
communication such as slander or gossip, although pride and
self-centeredness may be at the heart of this sin.
Gossip and slander
might be caused by the speaker's
baseless hatred (sinat chinam,
literally hatred of their grace,
beauty, or charm). Moreover, evil communication
leads others into hatred.
The account of Miriam's leprosy is evidence of the
connection between evil speech and tzaraat. After she and her
brother Aaron dared to speak evil of their brother Moses and
his Cushite wife, she was afflicted with tzaraat.
“Miriam and Aaron began to
talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had
married a Cushite. ‘Has the LORD spoken only through
Moses?’ they asked. ‘Hasn’t he also spoken through us?’
And the LORD heard this.” (Numbers 12:1–2)
God’s anger was kindled against Miriam, and He afflicted
her with tzaraat, saying to her:
“Why then were you not
afraid to speak against My servant Moses?’ The anger of the
LORD burned against [Miriam and Aaron], and He left them.
When the cloud lifted from above the tent, Miriam’s skin
was leprous—it became as white as snow. Aaron turned
towards her and saw that she had a defiling skin disease.”
(Numbers 12:8–10)
(Numbers 12:8–10)
This should be enough to give each of us a healthy fear of
gossiping about or slandering anyone—especially those anointed
of the Lord to serve Him in a position of public leadership or
ministry.
A Palestinian Christian and a Jewish Orthodox man have a discussion at
the Western (Wailing) Wall in Jerusalem.
Yeshua,
Purification, and Restoration
“Now on His way to
Jerusalem, Yeshua traveled along the border between Samaria
and Galilee. As He was going into a village, ten men who
had leprosy met Him. They stood at a distance and called
out in a loud voice, ‘Yeshua, Master, have pity on us!’
When He saw them, He said, ‘Go, show yourselves to the
priests.’ And as they went, they were cleansed.” (Luke
17:11–14)
Yeshua the Messiah, during the time of His
ministry on earth, healed many people who were afflicted by
this terrible condition.
Yeshua upheld the process of purification found in this
Parasha when He healed a leper, declaring him tahor (clean).
“Lord, if you are willing,
you can make me clean.’ Yeshua reached out His hand and
touched the man. ‘I am willing,’ He said. ‘Be clean!’ And
immediately the leprosy left him.” (Luke 5:12–13)
Keeping the Jewish law, Yeshua told the man, “Show yourself to the priest and
offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your
cleansing, as a testimony to them.”
Messiah and the Lepers, by Gebhard Fugal
In Luke 17, Yeshua heals ten men of leprosy, but only
one returns to thank Him. Again, Yeshua sends them to
report their healing to the priest.
Just as these leper needed to report to the Jewish
priest, so too do those who have been defiled by gross sin
need a system of
accountability to those in positions of spiritual
leadership.
There needs to be a process in the Body of
Messiah for restoration of those who have fallen
into immorality and have been healed through repentance and
the ministry of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit).

The Messiah:
Humble and Exalted
According to Sanhedrin 98b of the Talmud
(Jewish oral tradition), the Messiah is called
“chivara-the leper.” Another Jewish
interpretation of the Messiah, however, expects Him to be
high, mighty, and exalted, not lowly, afflicted or one who
associated with sinners or lepers.
This latter idea is based on Isaiah 52:13: “My servant shall be wise, exalted
and lofty, and shall be very high.”
How can we reconcile these two images of the Messiah?
In His first coming, Yeshua came as a lowly servant,
entering Jerusalem on the foal of a donkey.
He ate with sinners and associated with tax
collectors—behavior for which He was misunderstood and
despised. He died as the humble lamb led to the slaughter
to make atonement for our sins.
"But He was pierced for
our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the
punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His
wounds we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5)
The Procession in the Streets of Jerusalem,
by James Tissot
Yeshua did not come for the proud and
righteous, but for the lepers of society—those who are
poor, humble, sick, and outcast. He did not come
to associate with the rich and famous; but to cleanse those
who had been defiled (made tameh) by sin.
To illustrate this truth, Yeshua told a parable to some
who were confident in their own righteousness and who looked
down on everyone else:
“Two
men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the
other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and
prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other
people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this
tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of
all I get.’
“But
the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even
look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God,
have mercy on me, a sinner.’ I tell you that this man,
rather than the other, went home justified before God.
For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and
those who humble themselves will be exalted.” (Luke
18:10–14)
An Orthodox Jewish man wearing a shtreimel prays at the Western
(Wailing) Wall in Jerusalem.
According to Jewish thought, the Moshiach (Messiah)
Redeemer suffers the agonies of tzaraat by taking upon
Himself and personally suffering the pain of His people in exile (galut).
It is traditionally believed that the day of
purification in this Torah reading, refers to the day of
redemption when the Messiah comes. As Believers, we
understand that Yeshua did fulfill this.
“He himself bore our
sins in his body on the stake, so that we might die to
sins and live for righteousness—by his wounds you were
healed.” (1 Peter 2:24)
As well, Messiah will come again to heal all tzaraat
in our world. On that day, He will be exalted to rule and
reign forever upon the Throne of His Father David. Jewish
exile will be a thing of the past and His people will
dwell securely in their own land.
“Of the
greatness of His government and peace there will be no
end. He will reign on David’s throne and over His
kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and
righteousness from that time on and forever.” (Isaiah
9:7)
When that day comes,
“Justice will be the
belt around His waist, faithfulness the sash around His
hips. The wolf
will live with the lamb; the leopard lie down with the
kid; calf, young lion and fattened lamb together, with a
little child to lead them.” (Isaiah 11:5–6)
The time is short, Yeshua is returning soon.
As the day draws ever closer, please help us bring the
Good News of Yeshua to the Jewish People.
"Look, I am
coming soon! My reward is with Me, and I will give to
each person according to what they have done." (Matthew 16:27)
"And now, dear children,
continue in Him, so that when He appears we may be
confident and unashamed before Him at His coming."
(1 John 2:28)
