Tazria-Metzora

There’s something wondrous about 7 days,

The time it took for Creation,

That a Metzora waits at least that long,

To rejoin the Holy Nation.

Shemini taught us what is pure,

Of animal, fish, or other,

But Tumah rests on people, too,

Including a newborn’s Mother.

Your house or clothes or skin as well,

If there’s a blemish in the tissue,

The Kohen takes a closer look,

To see if there’s an issue.

And after 33, 66, or 8,

And maybe even longer,

One who is patient will be cleansed,

And come back even stronger.
