Shabbat Table Topics – Parashat Tazria
Tzara'at: Natural Disease or Divine Punishment?
Among the many mysteries of Tanakh, tzara'at ranks high on the list of unknowns. What is this malady? Why does a person get afflicted? Is it a natural disease that anyone can contract, or is it a Divinely sent, supernatural phenomenon, meant as punishment for sin?
