Passover 5 – Leaven Put Out
R. Paul Falk delivers a strong warning by showing a fascinating array of interconnections between the leaven being removed from the house, the putting of lepers—including Moses’ sister, Miriam—outside the camp, the infected stones of a house that had to be put out, and spiritual pride. This sin, like a lion waiting outside the door to devour us, is like yeast if allowed to come in, which starts as just a tiny bit and then leavens the whole lump of dough.
