The double Torah portion known as Tazria-Metzora is all about identifying and healing the sick. Rabbi Michael Knopf explores what it can teach us about identifying and healing our society’s illness of racism, of which police brutality, gun violence, and COVID-19 death rates continue to be pervasive symptoms. Recorded at Temple Beth-El’s virtual Shabbat evening service on April 16, 2021. Temple Beth-El is committed to leading people into growing relationships with Jewish community, wisdom, and practice that help them thrive intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually and that inspire them to build a more compassionate, just, and peaceful world.
