Imagine a disease that affects the walls of your house. It looks like a bad case of mildew, but the Torah considers it to be of real concern. The house must be inspected by a kohen and in extreme cases the house must be evacuated for a duration. In the most extreme cases the house must be destroyed. But by finely interpreting the exact wording of the Torah, our sages discover that there may be a silver lining to the household disaster.

Metzora (Leviticus 14:1 - 15:33)
