Shemini-Tazria-Metzora Essays

[Reuven Chaim Klein]

Here we go with some essays related to Parshas Shemini (better late than never, whaddayathink?):

• The Nosey Truth - About אף, חוטם, and נחיריים.
• Types of Species - About מין and זן.
• Wet Words - About לח, רטוב, רענן, רוטפש, טופח, and מפולם.
• Dancing Away - About מרקד, מפזז, and מכרכר.

And here come articles from the archives for Parshiyos Tazria/Metzora:

• The Cutter - About מוהל, גוזר, אומנא, and רופא.
• Haircut Time - About גלוח, גיזה, גלב, and ספר [Mitchell First's Jewish Link article for this week also talks about this].
• Spot on Tzar'at - About נגעים, צרוע and מצורע.
• Rule of Thumb - About בהן, גודל, and אגודל.

If you missed the Chol HaMoed Pesach premiere of my shiur "The Heavenly Minister of Mitzrayim: Egypt’s Celestial Guardian," don't worry, it's still available on YouTube. It's a long one, so make sure you have about an hour and a half of time to watch/listen.

For some reason, I felt like randomly sharing with my readers an old essay of mine "'Till Death Do Us Part: The Halachic Prospects of Marriage for Conjoined (Siamese) Twins" published in Hakira vol 26 (2019). Hope you enjoy it!
