Parshas Tazria
This week is dedicated especially Le'iluy Nishmas my uncle that passed away this past week. Shneur Zalman ben Yitzchak HaKohen. He was so proud of being a Kohen. It was his biggest pride and joy. May we be zoche to the days soon where he can join us as a Kohen again to do the Avodah in the Bayis Shelishi.
Another great Parsha with many ideas for your Parsha Party. REMINDER - THIS IS A SPRINGBOARD OF IDEAS. YOU CAN CHOOSE ONE IDEA OR A FEW. AND HAVE THE KIDS GUESS THE CONNECTIONS.

Tazria
If a woman gives birth to a baby boy she becomes Tameh for 7 days. On the 8th day the Baby gets a bris Milah. She is not allowed to touch anything rendered “Kadosh” or enter the Bais Hamikdash for 33 days.
When she gives birth to a baby girl, she becomes Tameh for 14 days and cannot touch anything rendered Kadosh or enter the Bais Hamikdash for 66 days.
When the Tameh days are complete she purifies herself and brings a Karban.
The pesukim delve into the details of a person that suspects he has tzaraas on his skin and goes to a kohen. The Kohen looks for white or pink skin, depth, white hairs and other details to determine if the person is Tameh or not. If the Kohen is not sure, then the person has to quarantine outside the camp for 7 days and come back to the Kohen to determine if he has Tzaraas.
The Tzaraas can be white or reddish white on the skin.
White spots are not Tzaraas.
Tzaraas on clothing is deep green or deep red. The Kohen quarantines the garment for 7 days and washes it. If it remains with Tzaraas it gets burned. If it goes away it should be washed again and becomes Tahor.

Cry Baby Candies / Pacifier candy / Mazel tov Candy / It’s a Boy and It’s a Girl treats / Sippies / Baby Bites – Laws of when a woman has a baby girl or boy and a boy gets a bris milah
Lip Candies – Speaking Lashon Hara brings Tzaraas which is what much of the Parshios talk about
Mike and Ikes / Wowzers – Talking about People brings Tzaraas (“Did you hear what Mike did?”, “Ike is such a nasty guy”, “Wow, she is such a snob”,)
FruZips – When you feel like speaking Lashon Hara Zip your mouth – Lashon Hara brings Tzaraas
Pez Emoji candy – Facial expressions as well as sending Emojis about people can be Lashon Hara too! Keep far away from any that can bring Tzaraas
Air heads / Jolly Ranchers – People that don’t think before they speak or are being too Jolly often speak Lashon Hara – Tzaraas Alert!
