Our Parsha this week is Parshat Tazriah and talks of Tzaraas and afflictions of the skin that come from Loshon Horah and other aveirahs.The word 'Tazriah' means 'Conceives' and speaks of the period of contamination when after a woman has given birth.Right from the Jewish child's birth,purity and Holiness is around to keep us on a level of coming close to HaShem.Right from the very start of life,we are shown that HaShem and His Purity is the only path to go on as it is not just the parents who make a child.HaShem is part of that conception and is within us all always.We see this in the very word 'Tazriah' which has a Gematrical value of 687 which is 6+8+7=21 and 21 is 2+1=3.So there are three parts to conception- HaShem,the Mother and the Father.HaShem is ever present always and so,throughout our lives,we must always lead a very Holy and Pure life.haShem is with us all the time and so,we are to be moral,honest and pure always.
This Sedra -'Tazriah' and the next one 'Metzorah' stresses inner purity and goodness,for if we don't live morally and purely,following HaShem,it can affect us in very physical ways for we live in a physical world.What we do inside-within us,affects us outside.Never are we to commit Loshon Harah (slander) against anyone,especially against HaShem.HaShem put our tongues behind our teeth for a reason,to keep our tongue in its place behind a wall.As HaShem speaks Holiness and with those words,brought Creation into being,so must we have a Holy tongue and speak only Goodness and kindness and Holiness.Every word we say,remains in the air and can raise or lower the essence of Holiness in this world,so at all times let us keep the world clean.For uus to slander someone,is to say to HaShem (Chas Ve Shalom) that the way HaShem Created them,is different from the way we want to portray them and this is such an insult to HaShem.Only HaShem can truly judge a person and their actions so it is not for us to ever spread in any way ,a negative showing of anyone.Loshon Horah was first committed in the beginning when the snake loshoned HaShem,and still eats dust till today.If it wasn't for Loshon Horah,we would all be in Shamaim.So,let our outer physicalities show our inner Holiness and let us all be a shining vessel for HaShem within.I love You HaShem and wish you a beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with deepest love and to all a Holy Shabbos Kodesh with love.
