Laws on specific matters are given in this parashah: when a woman has children, when the kohanim detect a problem called tzarat (mistakenly translated as leprosy)—the cure of which includes isolating the sick person outside the camp.

Tazia 5783
For anyone who has ever heard or read this parasha, the theme is clear. Parashat Tazria speaks to us about gossip, slander, and backbiting. It warns us about those attitudes that lead us to divide ourselves, to "impurify" the environment where we are, and to tarnish the names and lives of those affected.
