This week is a double parsha, both of which talk about tzaraas. The parshiyos discuss how the kohen determines if a mark is tzaraas and the steps that need to be taken to purify it.
We made cookies in the shape of people with white spots to indicate tzaraas.

1- We made our standard sugar cookie recipe and used a boy cookie cutter to shape the cookies. (You can really use almost any cookie cutter shape if you don\’t have a person. The parsha discusses tzaraas appearing on walls, clothes, and furniture, as well as people, so use whatever cookie cutters you have.)

2- Before the cookies went into the oven we placed several white mini-chocolate lentils all over them to represent the tzaraas. White chocolate chips will work just as well if you don\’t have lentils.
