The Pattern

What is the pattern of the 7 Mitzvot in this weeks Parsha ?

- A woman has a child - but there is some Tumah - why ?
She just did one of the greatest Mitzvos in the world ?

The answer is she did bring a great Neshomo into the world , but there is also a physical body which presents challenges that need to be overcome.

That is why there is some Tumah & that is why she needs to bring offerings to help focus & overcome the challenges.
Then the Parsha brings in Metzora to show how difficult the challenges may be.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.
