Is tzara’at a spiritual punishment or a contagious disease?

In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbi Dr. Elisha Anscelovits dive into Parshat Naso to explore how Torah meets real life. With tzara’at as their starting point, they challenge mystical interpretations and make a bold case for a Torah rooted in lived experience, honesty, and connection to God—not escape from reality, but deeper engagement with it.

Featuring
Rabbi Dr. Elisha Anscelovits – Pardes Faculty
Zvi Hirschfield – Pardes Faculty and Host of Pardes from Jerusalem
