Don’t Only Look at the Disease — See the Person: The Torah’s Hidden Origin of Holistic Healing - Rabbi Bernath on Parshat Tazria

Send us a text In this powerful class on Parshas Tazria, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores why the Torah repeats the phrase “the Kohen shall look.” Drawing on the teachings of the Meshech Chochma , we’ll discover the Torah’s revolutionary approach to healing—not just diagnosing the symptoms, but seeing the entire person . This class reveals the spiritual roots of what modern medicine now calls "holistic care," and challenges us to become more compassionate, wise, and soul-aware in how we view others—and ourselves. Key Takeaways: Double Vision : The Torah instructs the Kohen to look twice—once at the affliction, and once at the person—because true healing begins with empathy, not just analysis. Timing is Everything : There are moments when even truth must wait—for the sake of kindness, joy, and emotional safety. See the Soul : Before declaring someone “impure,” see their heart. Understand the difference between rebellion and pain, behavior and backstory. Holistic Before It Was In : Thousands of years before integrative medicine became a buzzword, the Torah already taught us to heal bodies by caring for souls. Relational Wisdom : Whether in parenting, teaching, or friendships—don’t just fix the problem. See the person behind the problem. #Torah #Bible #BibleStudy #TorahLessons #TorahPortion #Tazria #HolisticHealing #Kohen #Tzaraat #Jewish #JewishSpirituality Support the show Got your own question for Rabbi Bernath?
