PURITY AND OPACITY
In addition to the weekly Parsha, KiSisa, we read an additional Prasha, Prasha Parah. Par-shas Parah is the portion in the Torah which instructs us how to purify ourselves from the spiritual impurity that occurs when we come in contact with a human corpse. We read this additional Prasha in preparation for the upcoming holiday of Pesach which requires us to achieve a level of purity.
The question is that today in absence of the Basis haMikdosh (Temple) we do not need to purify ourselves so what is the relevance of this Prasha?
