Transforming The Leper

Metzora | Leviticus, Vayikra | 5771

The figure of the leper in the Torah, whom the Sages interpret in spiritual and moral rather than medical terms. The insight is that the leper's transformation and return to normal life described in the Sedra represents the possibility of spiritual healing and reintegration for any person who has strayed from the community.
