Why are the parshiyot Tazria and Metzorah written as two separate # 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Vaikra-EYAL | 9 - B | 18-08-19 | 15:24:55 | SR:-- | Black 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Vaikra-EYAL | 9 - B | 18-08-19 | 15:24:55 | SR:-- | Cyan 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Vaikra-EYAL | 9 - B | 18-08-19 | 15:24:55 | SR:-- | Magenta #26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Vaikra-EYAL | 9
parshiyot? After all, they both deal with the same primary subject of the
metzora.
The first letters of and spell the word (death). This
hints to setting fixed times for learning Torah and sacrificing oneself to
this end. This can be accomplished by disconnecting totally from all
earthly matters, as a dead person, while learning.
It says, “ .” One who strives to be attached to Hashem has
to fight to succeed. The person who dedicates himself to Torah merits
planting seeds of novel insights. One should raise his sons to grow seeds
of Torah.
Since Shelomit bat Divri raised her son by her personal example of
engaging in idle chatter, she caused him to ultimately curse Hashem’s
Name. In the end, he was stoned for his crime.
Miriam’s sin in discussing her brother Moshe was that she had engaged
in unnecessary speech.
There is a story told about Rabbi Eliezer Dawilla, and similarly about
Rabbi Nissim Rebibo. When they were distressed by their inability to
comprehend the words of the Maharsha, they were miraculously
granted clarification from Heaven. Whoever toils in the study of
Torah, sacrificing himself in it, ultimately merits extraordinary Divine
assistance.
