Tazria (conceives) & Metzora (leper) – Leviticus 12:1 – 15:33

Shabbat Shalom!

This week’s Torah portion, Parshat Tazria, opens with a surprising question: Why does a woman who gives birth need to bring a sin offering? What “sin” could possibly be connected to the most miraculous and joyful moment of life?

Our sages offer profound insights into the emotional and spiritual challenges of childbirth, revealing how moments of physical pain and vulnerability can cloud our connection to the divine—and how we can return to that sacred bond.

We’ll also explore a powerful story from modern history that reshaped how we understand the biblical concept of labor, pain, and purpose—connecting Queen Victoria, a Jewish scholar, and the spiritual transformation of childbirth.

Join us as we uncover the deeper meaning of life, creation, and how even our most human experiences can become holy.

Watch now and discover the spiritual wisdom of Parshat Tazria and Metzora!
