After giving us the rules of kashrut , of those foods permitted and forbidden animals pure and the impure, the Torah deals in our Parasha of double-Tazria Mezorà of purity and impurity of 'man. Of particular interest is the impurity on the zaraat, skin disease that affects according to our instructors as punishment for slander.
One of the greatest masters of Mussar, Rabbi Israel Salant, said the proximity between the rules of kashrut and those of zaraat, is just to blame the fact that while most people are attentive to the rules of kashrut controlling everything, "seventy-seven times " , few are careful not to despise the next and even the ' chew and swallow alive'.
This strong appeal to consistency is especially important after the 'rigors food' Pesach. The penalties go well if they are genuine and reasonably distributed among the various precepts of the Torah. Not good when you are very strict about one thing and then completely ignore another mizvà.
Abuse of the word, that our generation is a teacher, is a huge problem. The Torah sets the word no less than they do for food. Strange then, says Rabbi Mordechai Elon shlita, often, too often, rigor is linked to its failings in horizontal relations. And then I do not seek stricter certification of a product as such, but because 'that other -your-not good'.
Just the ceremony of purification by zaraat, offers an interesting approach on how healthy this situation. Among all those who are purified by different types of impurities, who purifies himself from zaraat, stride per la collocazione geografica della sua cerimonia. E' infatti l'unico che ha il permesso di stare presso la porta di Nikanor, la porta che separa il cortile interno, la azarà, da quello esterno l' ezrat nashim che ha un minore grado di santità. Nel corso della cerimonia questi deve allungare mani e piedi all'interno della azarà , pur restandone fuori (è ancora impuro) per ricevere su questi l'aspersione del sangue sacrificale dal parte del Coen. In pratica la Torà lo ha avvicinato quanto più possibile al sacro.
È spiegato in Majanà shel Torà that he has come to purify and has done teshuva and that's why you open a new door , the principle dear to our teachers is so great that the teshuva blessed that God is willing to do even a hole in his throne to receive it.
This is a fascinating vision of him that hung on the vine to purify line between the sacred and the profane in one of the key points of the Sanctuary - the port Nikanor - that is just symbolic of our access to the Divine service. This is precisely the port to which we refer whenever we talk about neilat Shearim. We can imagine that, in a precarious balance that is symbolic of the precarious balance of those who have spiritual failure. Nevertheless, it is precisely this gesture - to tend his hands - from the profane to the sacred that indicates the reunification of the two worlds separate from the door of Nikanor and renewed purity of the slanderer.
In Ezekiel's vision of the third shrine to be rebuilt soon and today, the door of the courtyard is closed on weekdays, while being open on Shabbat and Rash Chodashim. According to Dispel Emet this is a reminder that the sacredness of the day provides an opportunity for a renewed relationship between man and his Creator. Just come una porta che improvvisamente si apre.
E quando Shabbat e Rosh Codesh coincidono nella stessa giornata, allora questa apertura si fa ancora più profonda e la doppia luce spirituale delle due giornate diviene gemella in santità, nelle parole del piut con cui gli ebrei italiani accompagnano questa giornata.
Questo Shabbat è anche Rosh Chodesh Yiar, il mese di coloro che si sono purificati. Di coloro che non avevano potuto fare Pesach, perché erano impuri o lontani e che hanno una seconda opportunità nel Pesach Shenì. La nostra generazione ha meritato di passare proprio nel mese di Yiar dalla lontananza alla vicinanza con il rimpatrio exiles and the establishment of the State of Israel. May this month of Yiar which is renewed on us and the entire House of Israel in peace blessing to be found also the month of purification, solidarity and good relations between all of us.
