Parshaperspective.com  Our Parshas discuss some of the complex laws about Tumah V'Taharah - ritual purity and impurity.  We begin with the purification process that a woman must undergo after childbirth. This involves immersing herself in a Mikvah and bringing a sacrifice in the Beis Hamikdash. The Torah then explains the intricate laws of Tzara'as, a skin discoloration. Since it is a physical reaction to spiritual transgression, the person who receives it is ritually impure.  We find out why the number eight is connected to important commandments. We learn the core and source of the Jewish people, and how they continue to survive in the face of adversity.
