Noah Pollock and Jonah Sanderson attend the Academy for Jewish Religion in California. Pollock was drawn to be a chaplain from reading stories from his grandfather, Rabbi Hillel Silverman, telling about his time in the Navy as a chaplain. Jonah Sanderson’s goal as Jewish clergy is to bring suicide prevention, and disability advocacy into outreach spaces.
This week’s double parashah – Parashat Tazria-Metzora (Leviticus 12:1-15:33) – features rules concerning the purity and impurity of women and the horrible disease of Tzaraat.
