Tazria

Parashat Tazria - These lepers went into one tent illustration by Charles Joseph Staniland British (1838-1916)

Tazria (“She Bears Seed”) opens by describing the purification process for a woman after childbirth. It then describes different forms of tzaraat, a discoloration condition on skin or clothing, and the requirement of an infected person to dwell alone outside the camp and be inspected by a priest.
