T’tzaveh (Exodus 27:20−30:10) – Shabbat Purim

February 26, 2021/in Torah Tidbit /by Temple Web

This Week’s Torah Portion: T’tzaveh – תְּצַוֶּה Exodus 27:20−30:10) – Shabbat Purim

Purim story seems simple, there is a king, stupid and drunk, a beautiful queen, Esther,  her wise uncle, Mordechai the Jew, and a wicked man who wants to kill all Jews (Haman). We win, and now let’s go drink (Alcohol) and eat Hamantaschen (literally Haman’s hat).

Purim has one great lesson in it! What we do matters. No miracles are mentioned in the story, God does not appear even once in the story. It is all up to how we behave, kind of what is happening in real life, actions matter.

Parsha T’tzaveh Torah Summary:

The children of Israel are commanded to bring pure olive oil for the ner tamid “a constantly burning light,” above the sanctuary. (27:20-21) Aaron and his sons, Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, are chosen to serve as priests. (28:1) God instructs Moses to make special clothes for the priests. (28:2-43) Aaron and his sons are ordained in a seven-day ceremony (29:1-29:46) Aaron is commanded to burn incense on an acacia altar every morning and evening. (30:1-10) This Week’s Torah Portion: T’tzaveh – תְּצַוֶּה (Exodus 27:20−30:10) Purim story seems simple, there is a king, stupid and drunk, a beautiful queen, Esther, her wise uncle, Mordechai the Jew, and a wicked man who wants to kill all Jews (Haman).

T’tzaveh (Exodus 27:20-30:10)

March 6, 2020/in Torah Tidbit /by Temple Web

This Week’s Torah Portion: T’tzaveh (Exodus 27:20-30:10)

This week’s Torah Portion T’tzaveh begins with the command that the Children of Israel bring pure olive oil to fuel the Eternal Light, the Ner Tamid. We are taught in the modern commentary Itturei Torah: “Every Jew must light the Ner Tamid in their own heart.” In other words. The Ner Tamid burns as a reminder that each of us carries within us our own eternal flame, waiting for us to reach out and make a difference in this world, limitless in its capacity for kindling light and sharing hope.

May your light shine brightly and may we together be the builders of a better world.
