It then describes how tzara’at can appear on buildings and how affected buildings are purified from it. Finally, it discusses the various forms of ritual defilement that result from certain bodily discharges.

When I was five years old I was orphaned from both my father and mother. Before his passing, my holy father told me two things: 1) Fear nothing but G-d alone. 2) Love every single Jew, without exception, with all your heart and all your soul.
