Shabbat Hagadol is a time of self-examination to check if we succeeded
in preserving the inspiration of the original Shabbat Hagadol in Egypt.
This is to insure that it does not remain just a one-time awakening.
Likewise, a person who succeeds in awakening himself on this Shabbat
and advancing spiritually enhances all subsequent Shabbatot of the year.

The connection of Shabbat Hagadol to parashat Metzora is in order to
arouse a person to examine how he utilized his day of rest. Was it for the
purpose of learning Torah, or for speaking in a prohibited manner? If his
mouth is engaged in lashon hara, it cannot absorb the kedushah of this
Shabbat, which has the potential to enhance all the Shabbatot of the year.

The seven days that a metzora is obligated to leave the camp correspond
to the seventh day of Shabbat. This is meant to awaken one to utilize the
kedushah of Shabbat, and especially the kedushah of Shabbat Hagadol. # 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Vaikra-EYAL | 11 - A | 18-08-19 | 15:24:55 | SR:-- | Black 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Vaikra-EYAL | 11 - A | 18-08-19 | 15:24:55 | SR:-- | Magenta 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Vaikra-EYAL | 11 - A | 18-08-19 | 15:24:55 | SR:-- | Cyan #26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Vaikra-EYAL
