Imagine receiving a report card from G-d, a rebuke from the Master of the Universe when He sees us straying from the path He has set for us. With the rebuke comes the reward: the manifest testimony of His love for us.Tazria-Metzora (Leviticus 12:1-15:33)Parashat Tazria-Metzora is read on Shabbat:Rosh Chodesh Iyar, 5769/April 25, 2009http://www.templeinstitute.org/
The name of God in any language is in and of itself holy, and Jewish law forbids its destruction. Consequently, many Jews will spell it in unusual ways such as G-d. Our Rabbinical advisors permit us to type out the name because on a computer monitor the image of words does not have the solidity and permanence of a document. However, we have been cautioned to ask you not to print out materials that have such a name on them, unless you are prepared to dispose of such a page in the proper manner. (Burial of such pages is best.)
