Parashas Tzav

Our Parsha this Shabbos is Parashas Tzav.This Shabbos is just before Pesach and so is named Shabbos HaGadol,which is the Shabbos just before we were freed from Mitzrayim.
In Parashas Tzav,HaShem tells Moshe to 'Tzav' - 'Command' Aharon and his sons on the Laws of the 'Olah'- the 'Elevation Offering.' HaShem 'Tzav' - 'Commands ' that it is the Elevation Offering that is to stay on the flame on the Altar all night until the morning and that the flame should be kept alight on it.Then HaShem Commands that before the new offering of the day is done, the Ash must first be cleared.HaShem Commands that the flame be forever burning.
The Mincha - Meal Offering is then discussed and also the Sin Offering Chatas and then the Asham Guilt Offering and Zevach HaShlamim - the Thanks-giving Offering is discussed and the consecration of the Kohanim.
HaShem addresses Moshe to issue a 'Tzav' - 'A Command' to Aharon, where before the command came in the form of 'Daber' where G-D 'Said' to Moshe to relay a Law.Here, to do with the Elevation Offering, it is put as a more stringent 'Command' - 'Tzav' to impress upon Aharon and the Kohanim,the importance of the Elevation Offering.This Offering has a number of reasons for offering it, but one reason is for one who wishes to raise his Spiritual Level.So why is this so important to HaShem? We are in this Physical World,so as to climb Spiritually.Without travelling up to HaShem, it is as though life has no purpose, for to remain on a low level, is to remain as one who is not living.Our entire purpose is to come close to G-D and elevate ourselves every day and every minute toward G-D . This is one of the main purposes for the Laws.With each 'Tzav' - 'Command' of HaShem, we grow and fulfill our reason for being.Commandments are not given to control us, but are given out of love by HaShem to bring us back to Gan Eiden from where we originally were cast out ,so as to return us there , to HaShem. 
If we keep G-D forever before us and preceding us, we will have the True Light of G-D to help us come home to Him .
We see this in the second verse of this Parsha with the Hebrew Word ' Mokda,' which is spelled in a Torah Scroll with a small letter 'Mem.' The word 'Mokda,' means 'On the Flame,' in reference to the Elevation offering staying on the 'Mokda' - ' 'Flame' on the Altar all night until the morning. ' As I menttioned, this word 'Mokda' is spelled with a small 'Mem' as if it is hidden, leaving the word ' Ve Keidah,' reminding us of the Akeidah where Avraham brought his son Yitzchak to be offered on the Mountain.To elevate ourselves, we need to put our own wants aside and give to G-D .This is true Elevation, putting our Yetzer Horahs aside to do G-D's Will .
We are as I said, to keep G-D forever before us and this comes out in the word 'Mokda,' where the 'Mem' is almost hidden, leaving the word 'Ve Keidah,' where 'Ve' means 'And' and 'Kad' means 'To Bow Down,' in reference to 'And we are to elevate ourselves by Bowing down only to HaShem and doing His Will and not our will doing His 'Tzav' - 'His Commandments.The word 'Kad' is also part of the word ''Kadach' which means 'To Glow,' showing that we Elevate ourselves by letting our inner parts glow only toward HaShem .'Kad ' is also part of the word 'Kodem' which means ' Before' so, we are to forever keep HaShem and His Will before us in every step we take and make and in all we do.
HaShem instructs in this Parsha that the Flame must be forever burning on the altar.The flame on the altar in the Tabernacle in the Wilderness, burnt throughout the journeys of the Children of Israel , even after they came into Israel and in total , burnt for 116 years . The fact that it must always be burning, shows that the Flame 'Mokda' that 'Burns' , is like our Neshoma our Soul,that must be always burning toward G-D and so will we be holy, for the very burning of our souls toward G-D keeps us Holy , which is also in the word 'Kad' that is part of the word 'Kadosh' which means 'Holy.' 
The fact that the Ash had to be cleared away before the New Day's Offering, also signifies a very important point. If we want to purify ourselves and do it properly, in being Holy, we need to first clear away the impurity and the negativity that brings us down. This clearing must not just be on the outside, but within as well.We must be as pure on the inside as we are on the outside. Then, HaShem can send His Shechinah to be with the very offering of ourselves and our Goodness, as the G-D was with the Offering in those days, for we are like the Temple that must be kept pure.
HaShem's Essence came down on the offerings in the sweet and pure form of light that was in the shape of a Lion, as our Rabbis tell us, with a brilliance that no thought can compare to. 
True closeness with The Creator, is so far beyond anything we could ever imagine, for ,to be at One with G-D is to be totally and Completely fulfilled in our purpose for being.
With love to HaShem, I wish HaShem with Love, a very Sweet and Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh and Beautiful Pesach with Love and to my fellow Yidden, a very sweet and Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love and a Vreilichen Pesach with love.
