Shavua tov! Looking forward to Shabbat Tazria-Mtzora… on Zoom

Shavua tov — a good new week to you!

Apologies for the fact that we haven’t sent out these emails since Purim. The last six weeks have been a bit overwhelming, in ways I trust y’all understand. I’ll do my best to return to this practice now.

Join us for Shabbat services on Zoom at 9:30am on Saturday morning led by Rabbi Pam Wax. This week we’re reading from parashat Tazria-M’tzora. If you’d like to read some commentaries on this week’s parsha, here are a few:

• 2005: Tricky Torah: taharah and tumah
• 2006: Meeting impurity, and being changed
• 2007: Health — and connection with God
• 2008: Clean [Torah poem]
• 2009: Like God [Torah poem]
• 2012: Revisiting Tazria-Metzora, after death and after birth
• 2015: Becoming Real: Tazria-Metzora and Being Velveteen
• 2016: Letting your light shine
• 2017: Healing and second chances
• 2020: The treasures hidden in quarantine

Here’s commentary from Steve Silbert, R’ Evan Krame, and R’ Mike Moskowitz at Builders Blog, a project of Bayit: Building Jewish:

• Tazria: Doorways
• M’tzora: Healing from the Affliction of Separation

And here are commentaries from the URJ:
