Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Parashas Tazria-Metzora 5769



Counting our way out of impurity towards purity and holiness

Introduction

We have just completed the celebration of the Pesach festival, and we are now in the midst of counting the Omer. In this week’s parshiyos we also encounter other forms of counting. One counting is when a woman after childbirth counts the days of her impurity. A second counting is when a metzora, one who… Continue

Returning to the level of Divine Presence of the Patriarchs on our tents

Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Bechukosai 5768



Shabbos in the Parashah



In this week’s parashah it is said (Vayikra 26:3) im bichukosai teileichu vies mitzvosai tishmiru vaasisem osam, if you will follow My decrees and observe My commandments and perform them.

Shabbos: Taam HaChaim Behar 5768

Shabbos: Ta’am HaChaim Behar 5768
