This coming week we will be commemorating Yom Hazikaron, ANZAC Day and celebrating Yom Ha'atzmaut!
Yom Ha'atzmaut in Israel is always preceded by Yom Hazikaron - Memorial Day for the Fallen Soldiers and victims of terror. The message of linking these two days is clear: Israelis owe their independence, the very existence of the state to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for it This year ANZAC Day falls on the same day as Yom Hazikaron. According to research, 7,000 Australian Jews served in wars from the British Empire’s Sudan campaign of 1885 to the end of WWII. It's estimated that 2,000 more have served in peacetime since then. 341 Australian Jews have made the supreme sacrifice on behalf of their country in defence of freedom, peace and tolerance

Parashat Tazria-Metzora Leviticus 12:1–15:33The name of the Parshah, “Tazria,” means “conceives” and it is found in Leviticus 12:2. The name of the Parshah, “Metzora,” is often translated as “leper” and it is found in Leviticus 14:2. The Parshah of Tazria continues the discussion of the laws of tumah v’taharah, ritual impurity and purity. A woman giving birth should undergo a process of purification, which includes immersing in a mikvah (a naturally gathered pool of water) and bringing offerings to the Holy Temple. All male infants are to be circumcised on the eighth day of life. Tzaraat (often mistranslated as leprosy) is a supra-natural plague, which can afflict people as well as garments or homes. If white or pink patches appear on a person’s skin (dark red or green in garments), a kohen is summoned. Judging by various signs, such as an increase in size of the afflicted area after a seven-day quarantine, the kohen pronounces it tamei (impure) or tahor (pure). A person afflicted with tzaraat must dwell alone outside of the camp (or city) until he is healed. The afflicted area in a garment or home must be removed; if the tzaraat recurs, the entire garment or home must be destroyed. As outlined at the start of the portion of Metzora, when the metzora (“leper”) heals, he or she is purified by the kohen with a special procedure involving two birds, spring water in an earthen vessel, a piece of cedar wood, a scarlet thread and a bundle of hyssop. When a home is afflicted with tzaraat, in a process lasting as long as nineteen days, a kohen determines if the house can be purified, or whether it must be demolished. Ritual impurity is also engendered through a seminal or other discharge in a man, and menstruation or other discharge of blood in a woman, necessitating purification through immersion in a mikvah. © Copyright, all rights reserved.
