Parashat Mezora
Presented By: Rav Moshe Davis
Written by: Shilo Hagar
In Parashat Metzora, the verse states: “When you come to the land … and I place a lesion of tzara’at upon a house in the Land of your possession”.
Question
Why do the laws of tzara”at of houses apply exclusively in Eretz Yisrael?
Answer
It was only in the Land of Israel that treasures were hidden in the walls of houses and finding these treasures required destroying the houses. Am Yisrael has the task revealing the good hidden within the bad and turning evil into good. This is the unique power of Eretz Yisrael.

In Chapter 5 of Sefer Yehoshua, God commanded the Israelite men to be circumcised a “second” time.

Question
Why was the mitzvah of circumcision specifically to be performed by Israel upon entering the Land?

Answer
When Am Yisrael did circumcision and offered the Paschal lamb, it demonstrated that they acted in the same manner as the forefathers and were therefore worthy of the fulfillment of the Divine promise to inherit the Land.
