Parashas Tetzaveh

Our Parsha this Shabbos is Tetzaveh where HaShem tells Moshe to tell the Children of Israel to take pure pressed olive oil to kindle the lamp continually.Then HaShem Commands the beautiful Holy Garments of the High Priest and Priests - The Holy Kohanim , to be made.
If we look at the word 'Tetzaveh,' it has,as its root,the word 'Tzav,' -'Command.' The additions of letters around the word can also give it a 'future tense,' connotation.HaShem's Command here is not just for then but through all generations where purity like the pure pressed olive oil ,must be the way of the Jew.The beautiful Garments of the High Priest and Priests - The Kohen Gadol and Kohanim - need to also stand , as a way in which we , as Jewish people dress and behave.
HaShem Commanded us to be a 'Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation' being always modest and pure in how we behave and how we appear to the outside world.At every moment we are given to breathe,we represent HaShem.The way in which we behave and how we display ourselves in Tznius purity and modesty ,reflects on HaShem. HaShem is totally Pure and More and HaShem wants us to represent Him here and be a Holy people through which the light of HaShem can shine outwards to the rest of Creation.HaShem Commands Moshe that we are to light the light ,not just then but also now,where we are to light the light in our souls and fill it with HaShem's Essence , so that it can light everything around us.
But to do this,we need to be a pure people so that we can contain HaShem's Light of Holiness within us.We need to be the living being of HaShem's Commandments,always following HaShem and always keeping HaShem's Torah with love.
No matter what those around us do that are immodest,we are to keep ourselves pure.The physical may offer temptations but those temptations are not real.Only HaShem is Real.To do what HaShem asks is to be a vessel of Holiness and Purity.
When we do as HaShem wants and behave with purity,we literally live within HaShem's Word and become that word to all around us.
When looking around at the world that surrounds us,instead of being upset about the negativity that is there, it is better to remember and to rather take up the task which HaShem ordained of us and see where one can change things for the good.Where can a little light be brought in.Instead of putting people down,let us rather be a help to HaShem by fixing the negativity and doing what one can to make this a better world.There is always something one can do and it is for that very reason that HaShem puts us in certain situations ,so that we can bring HaShem's light into this world.But first we need to start with how we openly appear to the world and how we behave.It starts with correcting ourselves.If we dress in Holiness,we will promote Holiness.If we act and behave in a Holy Pure way,then people will be more ready to listen.
It is up to us.It has always been up to us.So let us take a lesson from the beautiful Purity and Holiness of the garments of the Kohanim and be,to all around us ,pure carriers of light,pure as the pure pressed olive oil that lit the Holy Light Of HaShem in The Holy Place.
With love,HaShem I wish You a Beautiful Holy Shabbos Kodesh with love and to all, a beautiful Holy Shabbos Kodesh with love.
