27_ Tazria (2 of 3): Dirty Seeds

28_ Ha’Metzora (2 of 3): Priest Inspection

ZARABEN.ORG [http://zaraben.org/] Studios presents Torah Teaching 28 Ha’ Metzora (“the afflicted one”), using King Uzziah as an example of pride and refusal to submit, contrasting him with Hezekiah’s repentance and healing. RC JedidiYah reveals that “Truth” (the Torah) frees people from self-deception and that affliction (personal, relational, financial, or physical) functions as YHVH’s scourge to drive repentance and change, not mere apologies. JedidiYah emphasizes that healing requires being examined by a Priest / Prophet (Teacher of Torah), exposing and confessing the problem, separation, and a new identity, along with required offerings “within one’s means” and never coming empty-handed.   Prepare by Reading: Vayikra (Leviticus) 14:1-15:33 Also Read from the  *Nevi'im (Prophets)* M’lakhim Bet (2 kings)  2 kings 19 RECORDED: May 10, 2025 @ 9:00 AM

28_ Ha’Metzora (1 of 3): Bound to Success

ZARABEN.ORG [http://zaraben.org/] Studios presents Torah Teaching 28 Ha’ Metzora (“the afflicted one”), explaining Ha’ Metzora as a spiritual affliction that can become an identity when a person embodies victimhood or refuses to change. R C JedidiYah reveals that Torah principles always exist. YHVH uses affliction and discipline to reveal clean and unclean and to drive transformation through submission. JedidiYah urges listeners to examine whether they cling to cultural identities or personal success instead of YHVH’s culture. He then expounds 2 Chronicles 26 on King Uzziah, whose prosperity and fame bred pride; when he unlawfully tried to burn incense, he remained a Ha’ Metzora until death.   Prepare by Reading: Vayikra (Leviticus) 14:1-15:33 Also Read from the  *Nevi'im (Prophets)* M’lakhim Bet (2 kings)  2 kings 19 RECORDED: May 10, 2025 @ 9:00 AM

27_ Tazria (3 of 3): Hidden Sin

ZARABEN.ORG [http://zaraben.org/] Studios presents Torah Teaching 27, Part 3 of Tazria. In this teaching, RC JedidiYah explores the spiritual disease of Tazria, focusing on fabrics and clothing as symbolic representations of false coverings, outward facades, and counterfeit religious practices that must be brought before a priest for Torah-based examination and judgment. JedidiYah emphasizes that confession by itself may not be sufficient. He warns against hidden sin, self-diagnosis, and postponing repentance, stressing the importance of bringing spiritual issues into the light for proper evaluation and cleansing.   Prepare by Reading: Vayikra (Leviticus) 12:1-13:59 Also Read from the  *Nevi’im (Prophets)* M’lakhim Bet (2 kings)  2 kings 18 WHEN: May 03, 2025 @ 9:00 AM

27_ Tazria (2 of 3): Dirty Seeds

ZARABEN.ORG [http://zaraben.org/] studios presents Torah Teaching 27, “Tazria” (to conceive seed/give birth; root zara, to sow), linking what a person “sows” through media, books, and conversations to outward manifestations such as tzarat (uncleanness/affliction). RC JedidiYah urges guarding the mind, using YHVH’s rhythms (morning/evening prayer, Sabbath, moedim) and planting Torah as daily seed.    Prepare by Reading: Vayikra (Leviticus) 12:1-13:59 Also Read from the  *Nevi'im (Prophets)* M’lakhim Bet (2 kings)  2 kings 18 WHEN: May 03, 2025 @ 9:00 AM

27_ Tazria (1 of 3): Seed of Affliction

ZARABEN.ORG [http://zaraben.org/] studios presents Torah Teaching 27 on “Tazria,” explaining its roots in Zara (“to sow/scatter seed”) and the principle that what is conceived and brought forth corresponds to the seed planted. RC JedidiYah then connects “Zara/seed” to spiritual outcomes and introduces the laws of Tzarat (affliction/leprosy) as outward signs of inward spiritual issues requiring priestly diagnosis, isolation, and weekly re-examination. He warns against long-standing “old” Tzarat tied to chronic issues requiring change (sin), emphasizing submission, humility, and prompt correction, while previewing later discussion on slander, gossip, pride, and overreaching.
