Parshas Tazria (5776)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

13:4 Rashi explains that after the first sight of a person possibly inflicted with tzoraas, he is kept under observation for a week followed by the Kohain giving his psakif the negah had a turn for the worse for it to become tamai. It is tremendously puzzling, how the judgement of the Kohain could be relied upon to evaluate what he saw a week ago. The answer is that this is exadfctly the core of the secret of the metzorah, we completely subject our bodies to the ratzon Hashem and for the same reason only the Kohain can give a psak, not even the biggest talmid chacham. This is a very appropriate lesson for the preceding parsha of the glorious entering into the world of a human being that his body and soul is subjected to HaKadosh Baruch Hu.

Have a wonderful Shabbos, a meaningful Chodesh and a Chag Kasher V’Sameach.
