Welcome to Metzora (Infected One), this week’s Torah portion.
This year, Parasha Metzora is read on the Sabbath that precedes Pesach (Passover).
That's right! Pesach is next week! It is a special Sabbath called Shabbat HaGadol (the Great Sabbath).
For the Haftarah (prophetic portion), Malachi 3:4–24 is read. This prophecy references the coming of the Messiah
— the Day of the Lord!

Please read along with us.  We know you will be blessed !

Last week in Parasha Tazria, God gave the laws pertaining to ritual purity and impurity for childbirth. 
It also identified tzara'at, skin afflictions that caused a person to be ritually impure.

 
This week, Parasha Metzora continues with the theme of Tazria.  In it, God gives Moses the law for the
recovered metzora (commonly mistranslated as leper) and the ritual purification of the metzora by the kohen (priest).

 
If the kohen determined that the metzora had healed, he or she underwent a process of ritual cleansing
that began with the offering of two birds, one which was sacrificed and the other which was set free.

Weekly Torah Portion: Metzora 

We speak, therefore we are human. In order to preserve our humanity we must take hold of our tongues and speak only things worthy of the name G-d gave to the man He created - Adam. The spiritual palliative prescribed by Torah provides for the metzora a way to get back to the Adam we are meant to be.

Parshat Metzora

Last week’s Parshah described the signs of the metzora (commonly mistranslated as “leper”)—a person afflicted by a spiritual malady which places him or her in a state of ritual impurity. This week’s Torah reading begins by detailing how the recovered metzora is purified by the kohen (priest) with a special procedure involving two birds, spring water in an earthen vessel, a piece of cedar wood, a scarlet thread and a bundle of hyssop.

Beloved Rabbi Naphtali “Tuly” Weisz
The Portion of Metzora
Weekly Torah Portion: Hold Your Tongue !

So begins a detailed description of the rituals involved with purifying someone who has been afflicted with Biblical Leprosy. The original Hebrew word used in the Bible for this affliction is Zaraat, which is commonly translated as leprosy. As all modern individuals are aware, however, leprosy is a medical affliction which, since the invention of antibiotics, is fully treatable medically. In referring to Zaraat, the Bible discusses a purely spiritual cleansing, performed by the priest. It is clear, therefore, that the word leprosy is actually a mistranslation of the word Zaraat and that the disease referred to in the Bible, although similar in its physical manifestations to leprosy or some other skin disease, is actually a spiritual ailment requiring a purely spiritual cure.

Obama Plots His Revenge on Israel
by Pamala Geller

Is anyone surprised that the jihadi in the White House is after the Jew? Or surprised that he will used the OIC-driven UN to do it?
“Obama Admin Open to U.N. Measures Focused on Israel” Adam Kredo, WFB, April 14, 2016:
The Obama administration says it “will carefully consider” what are expected to be a series of United Nations Security Council Resolutions aimed at Israel in the coming months, generating accusations in Congress that Washington is preparing to abandon Israel at the U.N., according to State Department officials and congressional sources apprised of the measure. U.S. officials told the Washington Free Beacon that no decisions have been made yet about several draft resolutions being informally circulated in Turtle Bay, but that the administration is open to considering future drafts... Fasten your seatbelts, Jews. Is Obama planning his revenge on Netanyahu? J Post, April, 14, 2016: During his final year in the White House, US President Barack Obama is preparing a metaphorical roadside IED for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. [...]

Obama Administration Slams Israel For ‘Excessive Force’ Against Palestinians
by Deborah Danan, BREITBART

TEL AVIV – The Obama administration accused Israel of “excessive use of force” against Palestinians during the current wave of Palestinian terrorism. An annual State Department human rights report accused Israeli forces of “arbitrary arrest and associated torture and abuse, often with impunity” of Palestinians. It also said that the Palestinian Authority and Hamas were guilty of the same infractions. According to numbers cited in the report, 149 Palestinians were killed in 2015 by Israeli security forces, but only 77 were in the course of attacking Israelis. [...]

Evangelicals are embracing their Jewish roots
by Bradley Martin, ALGEMEINER

JNS.org – Bishop John E. Putnam stood at the podium and exclaimed to the crowd, “Who here loves Israel and the Jewish people?” The thunderous applause indicated the ecstatic approval by more than 500 pastors, ministers, and their families attending a recent conference of United Pentecostal Church International (UPCI). Putnam, superintendent of UPCI’s Wisconsin District, had fired up the crowd, exhorting them to incorporate biblical principles in their everyday lives. A major aspect of the conference — held from April 5-7 in Elkhart Lake, Wis. — was reaffirming Pentecostal support for the State of Israel. Just outside the main hall was a large booth containing informational brochures published by Israel’s Ministry of Tourism. Bilingual Spanish and English tours to the Holy Land were marketed towards pastors in order to encourage more churches to bring their congregations to Israel. [...]

Parshat Metzora – Shabbat Hagadol
by Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz  
... There are two events we remember on Shabbat. One is universal – a remembrance of Creation. The other is particular to Am Yisrael (the People of Israel), the nation that has carried this memory with it for thousands of years – a remembrance of the Exodus from Egypt. These two memories are explicitly written in the Torah as reasons for the mitzva of Shabbat. [...]

Shabbat Shalom - Metzora (Infected One) - Shabbat Gadol and the Day of the Lord !!!





The handwritten text of the Torah scroll
 
Shabbat Shalom
 
Welcome to Metzora (Infected One), this week’s Torah portion.
 
Because this Shabbat is just before Passover, which starts next Friday evening, it is called Shabbat HaGadol (Great Shabbat), and a special Haftarah portion from Malachi is read that speaks of the coming of Messiah.
 
Please read along with us.  We know you will be blessed !
  
METZORA (Infected One)
Leviticus 14:115:33; Malachi 3:424; Matthew 8:1–4, 11:2–6; John 1:19–34
 
“Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “This will be the law of the leper [metzora] for the day of his cleansing.”  (Leviticus 14:1)  
 

Carrying the Torah scrolls at the Western Wall
 
Last week in Parasha Tazria, God gave the laws pertaining to ritual purity and impurity for childbirth.  It also identified tzara'at, skin afflictions that caused a person to be ritually impure. 
 
This week, Parasha Metzora continues with the theme of Tazria.  In it, God gives Moses the law for the recovered metzora (commonly mistranslated as leper) and the ritual purification of the metzora by the kohen (priest).
 
If the kohen determined that the metzora had healed, he or she underwent a process of ritual cleansing that began with the offering of two birds, one which was sacrificed and the other which was set free.
 
Then the healed metzora washed his clothes, shaved his body, and entered the mikvah (ritual bath) before being allowed back into the camp.  Though he could enter the general camp, for seven days he had to remain outside his home.
 
On the eighth day (eight being a number that symbolizes new beginnings), the healed person brought a grain and a guilt offering (minchah and asham).
 
As part of the cleansing ceremony, the kohen would put some of the blood of the offering on the tip of the right ear of the person to be cleansed, and on the thumb of the right hand and on the big toe of the right foot (Leviticus 14:14).
 
This represents cleansing of the total person from everything we hear, everything we do, and every path we take.
 
For those serious about remaining in the community as whole, healed people, it also represents a determination to remain holy by being careful about what one hears, deliberate in what one does, and mindful of where one goes.
 

Israeli Orthodox Jewish mothers and children
 
Not only did people need to be healed and ritually cleaned of tzara'at — even houses could be infected.
 
When such an affliction invaded a home, just like a malignant cancer, it had to be cut out and removed.  Even the stones and timber would be removed from the house and carried off to a designated “unclean place.”
 
Sometimes, however, the only remedy for the infection was the total destruction of the entire house (Leviticus 14:43–45).
 
King Solomon, in all his wisdom, wrote in the book of Ecclesiastes that there is a time to build up but also a time to tear down.
 
Likewise, sometimes we find ourselves in environments that are toxic.  When that environment resists the cure, and nothing we do can cleanse the situation so that it becomes beneficial to human life, health, and growth, we must move from this situation and start over, despite the heavy cost and losses involved.
 
Although some may encounter such times when a relationship has become so defiled and unhealthy that they must move on, trusting that God will help them begin anew, most certainly, discernment from the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) is necessary to know when to keep holding on in faith and when to move on.
  

Ancient mikvah in Israel
  
The Mikvah’s Cleansing Waters 
Parasha Metzora also deals with cleansing from bodily secretions, the laws of niddah (a woman’s menstrual cycle), and sexual relations within marriage.
 
The law of niddah calls upon a woman to be separated from the community for a period of seven days during her menstrual cycle (Leviticus 15:19–31).
 
Sexual relations are forbidden at this time between a husband and his wife, and may only be resumed after the woman has properly immersed herself in the mikvah (ritual water immersion).
 
Complete immersion (tevilah) is one of the primary Biblical ways of effecting ritual purification, and it is essential to purity and holiness in Judaism.  In fact, in Temple times, anyone who entered the Temple, including priests, first immersed in a mikvah.
 

Qasr el Yahud (lit. Castle of the Jews), an immersion site in the Jordan
River Valley, is the traditional spot where Yeshua's mikvah took place
(Matthew 3:13–17).  According to tradition, it is at this very spot the
Israelites crossed the Jordan River and the prophet Elijah ascended
to heaven.
 
Although Temple sacrifices have been interrupted, the ritual use of the mikvah has continued to this day.

The mikvah in Israel and around the world is a private affair, usually maintained in an inconspicuous building.
 
Women immerse themselves without clothing, with only a female attendant present to witness her full immersion.  Sometimes the facility provides cosmetics, creams, and lotions for the woman to beautify herself before returning home to resume relations with her husband.
 
The mikvah, however, is not only for Family Purity.  It is used for the conversion of Gentiles to Judaism.  As well, some pious Jews immerse before Shabbat and some special Holy Days.
 
The mikvah is seen to symbolize spiritual rebirth, and the Christian ceremony of baptism has its roots in this Jewish rite.  Indeed, the immersion of Yeshua by Yochanan (John) was actually a mikvah (John 1:19–28).
 
“Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.”  (John 3:5)

colorful art.
 
Shabbat HaGadol
“For, behold, the day comes, it burns as a furnace; and all the proud, and all that work wickedness, shall be stubble; and the day that comes shall set them ablaze, says the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.”  (Malachi 4:1)
 
This year, Parasha Metzora is read on the Sabbath that precedes Pesach (Passover). 
That's right! Pesach begins next week!
 
It is a special Sabbath called Shabbat HaGadol (the Great Sabbath).  For the Haftarah (prophetic portion), Malachi 3:4–24 is read.  This prophecy references the coming of the Messiah — the Day of the Lord!
 
Hearing that the Day of the Lord is coming soon is good news for those of us who look to Yeshua’s (Jesus) return for our redemption; but for those who reject the Lord and work wickedness, it will be a terrible day of judgment.
 

A Jewish boy wearing tefillin (phylacteries)
carries the Torah.
 
In this chapter of Malachi, the way of teshuvah (repentance) back to the Lord is described in terms of giving.  The whole nation of Israel was under a curse because they had robbed God by not bringing their tithes and offerings; but great blessings were promised to those who would obey God’s command to give.
 
“Bring the whole tithe into the store-house, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall be more than sufficiency.”  (Malachi 3:10)
 
Before the coming of this day, however, it is traditionally believed that God will send Elijah the prophet — the one who never died but went up to heaven alive in a fiery chariot.  For this reason, a place is set at every Passover Seder (ritual meal) for Eliyahu HaNavi (Elijah the Prophet) in the hopes that this will be the year he arrives, signaling the imminent coming of the Messiah.
 
"Behold, I send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord."  (Malachi 4:5)
 

The Four Questions in an English Haggadah.
 
On Shabbat HaGadol, the Haggadah (The Telling) is read in preparation for Pesach.  Specifically, the Four Questions are read.
 
The first question is, "Why is this night different from all other nights?"
 
The word haggadah is derived from lehagid, which means to tell.
 
The Zohar (Jewish mystical book) states that lehagid has the connotation of revealing a secret.  Furthermore, it states that the word Pesach (Passover) comes from Peh Sakh, which means the mouth opens and speaks.
 
As Believers, we understand that Passover does indeed contain a great secret; it looks forward to the redemption of mankind through the coming of the Messiah.
 
Indeed, Yeshua fulfilled Passover perfectly by becoming our Paschal lamb, our perfect guilt offering once and for all (Genesis 22:7–8; Isaiah 53:10; John 1:29; Hebrews 10:10; Romans 6:10).
 
In this Passover season, may we open our mouths and boldly speak of why this night is different than all other nights!

The Jewish people (the People of the Book)
gave the world the BIBLE. Today there are about 14 million
Jewish people in the world though most have never studied
the Messianic Prophecies. Finally, for the first time, there will
be a Hebrew Messianic Prophecy Bible, based on the
Ancient Dead Sea Scrolls and Masoretic texts translated
into hundreds of languages, exposing the true meanings.

Many have falsely said that God is finished with His Chosen People;
however, Bible prophecy clearly states that this will never be so. 
In fact, in these Last Days, God is moving among
His people to physically and spiritually restore them.
