Episode description

The Torah teaches that when an Israelite was afflicted with Metzora, a skin affliction that was contagious and appears to be untranslatable, they had to be separated from the community - a quarantine. The Talmud explores the responsibility of the afflicted person to protect the community, but also the responsibility of the community to care for the person. (My thanks to Rabbi Brent Spodek for his insights.)
