Our
Parsha is "Tetzaveh," which means "shall command."Whenever a Parsha
starts with the word 'Ve' it means that there is a link from what is
about to be said,to what was said before.Just before,we read how the
Physical Tabernacle was to be completed and now we are about to read
about kindling the lamp continually ,which represents the Spiritual.To
connect to HaShem,we cannot only just do the Commandments
Physically without feeling.We need to put our love and heart and soul
and intention into everything we do for HaShem.To pray without Kevanah
is like not praying at all.It is just like an empty shell.Every Mitzvah
we do,we must do it with love and intention and remember that we do it
with love for our Creator.We need to correct ourselves Physically
,controlling all our physical wants and direct ourselves higher to the
Spiritual so that our Neshomas can connect to HaShem.So,just as the
physical Tabernacle had to be completed,so that the illumination ,the
Spiritual could shine higher and HaShem could dwell among us,so must we
correct ourselves physically and morally so that our Neshomas can lift
and join with HaShem.But the Lamp in the Tabernacle remained in the
Tabernacle to bring the Physical around it ,higher.so will our Neshomas
still remain within our Physical bodies so both the Physical and the
Spiritual Soul will lift together and HaShem can dwell among us.The word
'Tetzaveh,' is in thee future tense,which shows us that we need to
continue commanding ourselves to climb higher and do all that is needed
to raise our level of Holiness,not just for yesterday or the day before
yesterday,but also for tomorrow too.Jews are not just to live for
today.Jews are to continually purify themselves everyday and think into
the future about our spiritual destinies and to work everyday within
ourselves to climb higher and higher.HaShem is beyond infinite and ,to
emulate HaShem's beautiful and Holy Ways,we are Blessed to have a
never-ending path to Holiness.The Lamp need 'pure pressed olive oil,' as
we must be pure and our Yetzer Horah's pressed away from affecting
us.We are to 'Kindle the lamp continually,' which also represents that
we are to eternally strive for the Holiness of HaShem,kindling,bringing
this Holiness within us always.Having this Holiness within us,this light
within us,will allow it to stretch outwards.This light will literally
extend from within us and make Holy,all that ks around us.The Torah then
discusses the Kohanim's Holy garments.This represents how,after our
light has surrounded and affected all that is around us,the our
Physicalities itself,will also change and take on a Holy Garb.Then the
End of Days can surround us.The word "Tetzaveh ," -"Shall Command,"is
501 in Gematriah and 5+1=6,which is the stage before 7,just as
commanding ourselves to be Holy and subduing our Yetzer Horah's. And
following HaShem's Commandments will bring on Mashiach.May we all be
surrounded in the Holiness and Light of HaShem as we burn bright
and,like the Lamp,light up the world around us.HaShem with Love I wish
You a sweet and Holy Shabbos Kodesh and to all with love have a sweet
and Holy Shabbos Kodesh.
