Tazria 5771: I'm in a pure state of mind

A fun interpretation of the Torah, The Torah in Haiku.  There is also a book called the Haggadah in Haiku.  I would have quoted the author on this week's episode, except that I have not yet received his permission, so I am linking to his materials for you to look on your own!  http://www.thetorahinhaiku.com  

An article giving more "medical" information on what the diseases were that are mentioned in the parasha.

I seem to have messed up my facebook page!  Sorry.  I will try to fix it!

Congratulations to Heather Ordover of Craftlit.com for reaching her 200^th episode.  Heather inspired me to start Torah Threads and is a wonderful literature teacher.  I have truly grown in my understanding of literature through her podcasts.

For more background on the book of Leviticus you can read:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Leviticus

I also strongly suggest getting The Torah:  A Modern Commentary by Rabbi Gunther Plaut.  These sections of Leviticus are really well explained by Rabbi Plaut.
