MESSAGE FROM RABBI LOEWY:

 Parshas: Metzorah / HaGadol

This week’s newsletter is sponsored Anonymously as a zechus for Shimon Mordechai Ben Henya Leah & Chana Yehudis bas Henya Leah. If you are interested in sponsoring a future newsletter, please see the Rabbi or a member of the Board. 

A person that had leprosy is commanded to bring a sacrifice consisting of both the strong cedar tree as well as a simple bush. Rashi comments this is an important message to impart to the individual that due to their arrogance they got smitten with leprosy and they must work hard to lower themselves and be less haughty. Rabbi Zev Leff explains that haughtiness is a personal belief that I make myself great, whereas humility is realizing that G-d is the one who makes me great which ultimately comes with great responsibilities. Rabbi Menachem Weiss explained that leprosy shows the individual that you are not the one in control of your body, clothing, or house. There is a Master in this world that has bestowed you with all those special blessings. Hashem expects us to use His gifts properly helping other Jews as opposed to lowering them.
