This morning we discuss how Tzora'at, discussed in our Torah Portion regarding a discoloration in our home, conveys a practical lesson for every one of us. We quote Rambam, Maimonides, who indicates last Parsha and this Parsha contais a progression of God's messages of constructive criticism to us. And we quote Rabbi Yissachar Frand's insight that, confronted by a suggestion for self-improvement, we can either choose tragedy or treasure.

Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law. ADATH is a modern orthodox synagogue community in suburban Montreal, providing Judaism for the next generation. We take great pleasure in welcoming everyone with a warm smile, while sharing inspiration through prayer, study, and friendship.
