What happens when a plague hits a house? Not human disease but rather decay, mold, disrepair, and general breakdown? Well, the Torah takes up housing
blight
in this week’s portion – Metzora (Leviticus 14-15). And the way the early rabbis read this biblical text has more than a little in common with today’s urban reformers and activists.
Please, join your Nafshenu friends Thursday night (7-8pm) for a provocative and lively look at the Torah of housing, ancient and contemporary.
