Daily Aliya for Tazria-Metzora, Shlishi (3rd Aliya)

Aliya Summary: This Aliya discusses tzara'at which appears on a bald spot, as well a white discoloration streaked with red, which can appear anywhere on the body. Also discussed is the procedure followed by an individual who is afflicted with tzara'at, the main requirement being that he must remain outside the city until his condition clears up. The Torah then discusses "clothing tzara'at," a green or red discoloration which can affect certain types of materials. The garment is shown to a priest who quarantines it for up to two weeks.

A person who has Tzora'at, tears his clothes, lets his hair hang loose, and must announcein public that they are Tamei (impure). The proper conduct of the Metzora is a mitzva (positive commandment).
