Parshat Parah introduces us to the ultimate chok, a mitzvah that defies all logic and we accept simply because it is God’s command. In this mitzvah, the kohain takes one who has become defiled through contact with the dead and brings him outside the camp. There he sprinkles on him water that contains ashes from a red heifer, and the man becomes purified. Rabbi Wolfson offers a homiletic interpretation to this ritual. The ultimate Purifier is Hashem Who purifies us from all sin.
