Tazria/Metzora: Finding a Way to Self Reflect
"As for the person with a tzara'at affection: the clothes shall be torn, the head shall be left bare, and the upper lip shall be covered over; and that person shall call out, 'Impure! Impure!' The person shall be impure as long as the disease is present. Being impure, that person shall dwell apart—in a dwelling outside the camp." Leviticus 13:45-46
Rabbinic tradition connected tzara'at with the sin of "evil speech," - slander and gossiping. Sadly, in our times were such a disease to manifest itself in those who say negative comments about others, we would all be afflicted by it. The moral guidance of the rabbinic tradition is that this affliction relates more to the soul than the body.
When we learn above that one who contracts tzara'at must be sent into isolation outside the camp, Rabbi Adin Steinsalz teaches: "When one is isolated with tzara'at, one remains alone and only then can one truly ponder one's own faults. Only after one is told that s/he is beset with faults and is isolated with them, can s/he begin to grapple with them until they disappear."
It is the isolation that gives an opportunity for self-reflection and helps one to confront their moral shortcomings. When someone is isolated, there is no one to compare oneself against. The isolated person suddenly realizes that s/he must self-judge without the benefit of having someone else to look down upon.
