Parashas Metzora Shabbos Ha Gadol

Our Torah Parsha this Shabbos HaGadol , which is the Shabbos before Passover , is Parashas Metzora . HaShem Continues with the Laws of Tzaraas and here, discusses how purification from it takes place . HaShem Teaches what offerings are to be brought , how the process takes place and exactly what the Kohein needs to do . The Torah portion then goes on to discuss Tzaraas in houses . This can only occur in Eretz Yisroel . HaShem In His Mercy , Wants To Try And Avoid Striking the person directly first with Tzaraas , so HaShem Strikes the person's belongings and house first. Should the Kohein come and find Tzaraas in the house , he instructs first that the owner remove all his belongings from the house and only then , declares the house Tamay - Contaminated . This was quite embarrassing for the owner to have all his wares displayed on a public street . One of the reasons for this. , is due to one of the Aveiras that causes Tzaraas on a house, and that is dishonest miserliness , for this kind of Tzaraas can appear on the house of a person who may have been asked to lend a certain thing , and he denied having it , not wanting to help his fellow, and now , all will see that he had what he denied he had, thus a punishment for miserliness. Other Aveiras that brings this Tzaraas, are Loshon Horah and denying the Truth that HaShem Runs the World And Is Responsible For All our Blessings, not us . HaShem In His Mercy And Kindness , gives mercifully even to the one who makes an Aveirah and genuinely repents , for even HaShem's Punishment , Is His Blessing in disguise , set to put us on correcting ourselves so we can enter Shamaim . We see here in The Punishment HaShem Metes out on a house, was a blessing in disguise , for when the Kohein would come and scrape off the Tzaraas in the house and cut away bricks , stone and mortar , they found riches and valuables hidden in the walls , left by the previous Canaanite dwellers , who had hidden their treasures in the walls of the houses ( and even in the fields ) when they knew we were coming home to our gift from. HaShem , our Land and so , these got found and the repentant found himself wealthy . A Lesson for us , That Even When HaShem Punishes us , it is for the good , to bring us back to Him and receive His Brochas being near Him . 
The Laws of Tzaraas in houses go on to tell us how the house us purified and under what cases , a house has to be totally demolished and all the Laws related to it. . 
HaShem then discusses human impurity again in the form of ritual impurity from the human body , then the Niddah ( period of a woman every month - going back to the original Aveirah of Chava ) and its Laws and other blood flows and its impurity and how to purify herself . The Laws of Niddah and Family Purity , are the basis of a pure Jewish home , bringing HaShem's Shechinah Into the Jewish home and the continuation of Holy Jewish Children , brought up from the very beginnings of conception , in holiness and purity , the life intended for every Jew . 
So ends the Parsha . 
The usual Haftorah for Parashas Metzora , would usually be 2 Kings 7:3-20 , talking also of the lepers Gechaizi and his 3 sons , that we mentioned last week , in relation to the Parsha of the Metzora who spoke Loshon Horah , the main reason for this punishment of Tzaraas . Gechaizi as mentioned before , slandered his master Elisha the Prophet and also tried to take for himself what he was instructed not to take and so he and his three sons were stricken with Tzaraas , a link to the Parsha . But seeing as this Shabbos is Shabbos HaGadol , we read Malachi 3:4-24 , reminding us to remember Moshe and the Laws from HaShem and How HaShem Wants To Give us in abundance . Passover , is a time HaShem Gave us our freedom , And Put us in the Path of His Laws through Moshe after HaShem Redeemed us . This Haftorah also discusses the coming of Eliyahu Ha Navi at the End of Days , the Final Redemption and we are reminded of Moshe at the Burning Bush , when he was Told by HaShem , Who to say Sent him . The fact that Hashem Told him to only say part of HaShem's Name Reference , showed Moshe that our removal from Mitzrayim , would not be the final one on Passover , and this Haftorah is thus an apt one for it refers to the Final Redemption , May it come soon in our days . So ends our Sedra .
One of the main reasons for Tzaraas , is Loshon Horah , Slanderous talk about another . This is a terrible Aveirah , one that even caused us to lose our Temple over causing groundless hatred for our fellow . As we near Passover , The Festival of Freedom , we need to learn to free ourselves from that which destroys . Loshon Horah Slander destroys more than just the one spoken about . Speaking Slander , ruins three people , The perpetrator of the Loshon , the one listening to the Loshon and the one spoken about . Tto be truly free , is to be on the close path with HaShem . Such is true freedom . To make an Aveira of Loshon Horah , chains us to the negative , for such a person that Loshons , ties themselves to the negative untrue paths of slanderous talk , which pulls the perpetrator of it into more and more negative thinking of others . To be truly free , as we were after leaving Egypt on Passover , is to emulate HaShem's Ways of Honestly and seeing the best in others . To slander others is to seek ruin , Chas Ve shalom , of HaShem's Beautiful World . We should always seek life and light and travel always on HaShem's Path toward HaShem . 
Shlomo Ha Melech said very distinctly in Mishlei that ' Life and Death are in the power of the tongue ( Midrash Vayikra - Rabbi Weissman ). ' We can kill more people with a word then with a sword . A sword can only kill one person at a time that is close but a word can destroy many at once , and even those very far away . 
HaShem Creates all people and when we Chas Ve Shalom go and slander another , it is as though we are trying to recreate , Chas Ve Shalom , that other person in a way we negatively want to perceive them , just for our own arrogance . This is a very terrible Aveirah and one of the easiest to commit .
HaShem Made the tongue as one of the easiest moving muscles , for a good reason so that we can easily gain Kavod by speaking Holy Words of Torah to bring HaShem's Shechinah down to this World ( Midrash Vayikra - Rabbi Weissman ). To use the tongue for a negative reason , completely goes against the very purpose of HaShem in Allowing us a Tongue and Speech - to make this World a home for HaShem . HaShem Secured the tongue behind teeth and the walls of the mouth and gums , as a deterrent to keep it in check . We should only speak and use the power of speech , for holy purposes . To do otherwise , is to go against Creation , Chas Ve Shalom .We all are here , out of Gan Eiden and in this World , suffering , because of the Aveirah of Loshon Horah , where the Nachash - Snake , with Samael within , slandered HaShem to Chavah and was punished by having its tongue split and being forced as its food, to eat the very dust that is alike to the negativity , of what it spoke . Loshon Horah , also led to Doeg slandering David ( Midrash Vayikra - Rabbi Weissman ), to King Saul , and thus having Doeg kill 85 of the Priests at Nov , including the Head Kohein Achimelech , for a lie Doeg told . Doeg was to never be given redemption . Loshon Horah has ruined many lives and shows as I mentioned a great arrogance . Torah is a way to control its pull . Studying Torah , keeps a person on a higher Madreiga - Level , thus keeping them occupied with Holier pursuits and also keeps them from being idle , when the tongue likes to flap . 
Within the word " Metzora ," is the Hebrew word ' Tzar , ' which means enemy , oppressor , trouble and a rock ( Shilo dictionary ) . How deeply descriptive is our meaning now . Thus Loshon Horah is a great enemy to us ,brings oppressors upon us , brings trouble and distress to many and is cold and hard without feeling like a stone . When we Loshon , we can't see the whole picture , so thus our view of another person is worth nothing , for only HaShem Sees the Whole Picture . So our maligned view of another is only a cold hard unknowing one , with no emotions for another , just like a rock or stone . Only HaShem Can Decide on others. Not us .We must be there to guide and help , not to put others down . We must Emulate HaShem in every way , and be a helping hand to others , not ever use others to step on so we can try to get higher in a wrong way . Such people that stand on others to get ahead , accomplish nothing but humiliation . As the Slanderer isolates others , so does HaShem's Punishment for Loshon Horah , isolate the perpetrator of Loshon Horah . 
HaShem Wants us to be pure holy individuals, pure from within , shining to the outside . How we treat others , is the path to how we are treated in return . If we go out of our way to slander others and ruin others to make ourselves feel good , HaShem Responds , By Humbling us . But if we give people the benefit of the doubt , trying every possible way to find a good reason for what another may do , So Can HaShem also Give us mercy and Try To Excuse what we do . 
Our Tongues must speak sweet words of holiness always , helping others rather than trying to destroy them . Instead of sullying our soul which shows on the body , rather purify the soul , so the body may shine . 
Let us all be a vessel to hold the Light Of HaShem , and speak words always of sweetness and holiness and light . 
With deep love to HaShem , I wish HaShem with Love , a Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with Love and Chag Pesach Sameach with Love , and to all my fellow Jews , a Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love and a Chag Pesach Sameach with love .
