Tazria-Metzora
“Mindless speech blocks the brains”,
My Pele Yoetz note expounds,
“Mindless pleasure blocks the heart”,
Quoth Rabbi Yitzchok Lowenbraun.
Was this his innovation?
Of this I do not know,
Perhaps it was passed down to him,
By a Rebbe long ago.
So thoughts, conceived like children,
Connect tazria and metzora,
In both forms of conception,
There’s both tumah and tahara.
Brain and heart resemble kelim,
That give birth as from a womb,
If the seed is sown in carelessness,
It must effect the bloom.
Alas, as oft it is the case,
Our acts are stained by tai’va,
These kelim can be kashered,
Through hagalah, and korban’s fire.
