Parsha Tzav – צַו Torah Summary:

The five sacrifices that the priests are to perform are described. (6:1-7:38) Limitations on the consumption of meat are delineated. (7:17-27) Details about the ordination of Aaron and his sons as priests and the preparation of the Tabernacle as a holy place are given. (8:1-36) Tzav – צַו “A perpetual fire shall be kept burning on the altar, not to go out.” Leviticus 6:6. Having the Sanctuary in our midst, having the house of God in our midst, means that the presence of Adonai is always here, for that we need the fire to never stop, to always continue. Not an easy thing to have the fire always on, 24/7 all year round. Tzav – צַו The five sacrifices that the priests are to perform are described.
