Our Parsha this Shabbos is Parashas Shemini and this Shabbos also comes before Rosh Chodesh Nissan and so It Is Also Parashas HaChodesh , the Shabbos before Rosh Chodesh Nissan , which was the day the Tabernacle in the Wilderness was Inaugurated , after the seven prior days of It's setting up and taking down by Moshe and we look forward to the coming of Pesach in Nissan and the Maftir for Parashas HaChodesh is in Exodus 12 : 1 - 20 , which speaks of Rosh Chodesh and how the Hebrew Month of Nissan , in which we were freed from Mitzrayim , will be for us Jews , the First of the Months and this portion also speaks of Pesach , which is coming soon and the Haftorah is Yechezkel Ezekiel 45 : 16 - 46 : 18 , which speaks of Pesach . This Parsha starts out on the Eighth day after the Seven days of the Inauguration period for the Mishkan and it was on this day , the First of Nissan , that Aharon would now take over permanently as Kohein Gadol , after Moshe officiated for the past seven days . Aharon was reluctant to take up the position of Kohein Gadol , as he still felt unworthy , not just because of his humility , but he also felt very bad about the whole incident of the golden calf , but Moshe assured him that this is What HaShem Wants , for him to be Kohein Gadol . Aharon's position of Kohein Gadol was Chosen By HaShem long before , When HaShem Was Speaking To Moshe At The Burning Bush and Moshe kept humbly refusing And So it was then That HaShem Chose To Make Aharon the Kohein Gadol . Aharon also felt uncomfortable because as he approached the Mizbayach - The Altar , he saw a vision of a calf , thus reminding him of the Chait Ha Eigel . Some of our Sages teach us that this vision , though having another positive reason , could actually have been perceived by Aharon negatively because of a negative force that was trying to keep him from serving HaShem , while other Sages feel that it was a vision of what Korban would be needed to be brought to start his service . No doubt , he was to bring a young bull for a Chatas - Sin Offering and a ram for an Elevation Offering unblemished , thus to atone first for his part in the Chait Ha Eigel . A man who is to bring Korbanos - Offerings ( where the word ' Karov ' - Closeness ' is within the word " Korbanos " ) and help atone for others , must first cleanse himself . A man who is set to bring Closeness Between HaShem and the People , must first take that step of rectifying to bring his own closeness To HaShem , himself . Also on that first day for the Children of Israel , was to be brought a he-goat for a Chatas Sin Offering and a calf and sheep for a Peace Offering , so that Atonement could be brought for what the brothers did to Yosef long ago , where they dipped his tunic into goat's blood . The Temple Altar was to bring closeness Between HaShem and the Children of Israel and so , that begins with peace among our people and thus the sin of what was done between brothers , in our people , had to be atoned for , so Peace could be Between HaShem and us . This Sedra continues with the Offerings and after all had been done for this Inauguration , Moshe and Aharon still waited For HaShem's Fire To Descend , but it did not . Aharon Blessed the people . Aharon humbly felt it was because of him , That HaShem's Fire Did Not Yet Descend and Aharon asked Moshe why he was put in the position of Kohein Gadol , if he and his work was not accepted . Moshe and Aharon both fell on their faces To HaShem . Only when both brothers Moshe and Aharon entreated HaShem , Did HaShem's Fire Descend From Before HaShem And Consume the Elevation Offerings and the fats , on the Mizbayach Altar . Thus showing us that we are to work equally with our fellow Jews in Serving HaShem , Within Creation . The people had much rejoicing , feeling that now HaShem Had Forgiven them for the Chait Ha Eigel And That Now , HaShem Would Again Be In our midst . On this day of such great joy , tragedy occurred . The Parsha starts out with the words " Vayehi Bayom , " which often in Torah starts out a sad happening . We see this in Bereishis 14 : 1 , where Avraham is about to go to war against the kings . We see these words also at the beginning of the book of Ruth , just before the famine . We see these words also in the Book of Esther , when introducing Achashveiros and we see it here in this Parsha , which describes the tragic event of the death of Aharon's two sons Nadav and Avihu . Aharon's two sons were very holy , as were all of Aharon's sons very holy . Nadav and Avihu were of great stature , seen even within their names , for within Nadav's name is the word ' Nedivus ' - which refers to his honourable rank and within Avihu's name is the name ' Av ' like a father of his people . The only thing these two sons of Aharon lacked a bit was the necessary humility . They both boldly decided on their own at the same time , each on their own thoughts , to take their fire-pans , without an order From HaShem , or checking with their Rebbe Moshe or their Father Aharon first and they put their own fire in them , thus discounting HaShem's Fire On the Mizbayach and they placed Ketores Incense upon them and thus brought an alien fire , discounting HaShem's Fire , on the Mizbayach . They also never wore the Me'il , which had bells at the bottom , put there for when entering The Holy Place , so the Angels within , would know to leave and thus not affect the one entering by their spiritual holiness , thus they entered unprotected , into a Place Frequented by holy beings . A Fire Came Forth From HaShem And Consumed them and they died before HaShem . Thus it wasn't as though HaShem Killed them as such , but rather , that by their own choice , they entered The Holy Place and did not announce their entering with the bells on the Me'il , before the holy Malachim within could leave and so by their own action of doing that which was not their place to do , they caused their own demise . Only the one That HaShem Allows into this Holy Place , is permitted within . In mentioning the actions of Nadav and Avihu , I already mentioned a few of the wrong things that they did , but there was more . At an earlier time , at Har Sinai , when the Elders stood up higher on the Mountain , When HaShem Came Down , both Nadav and Avihu , yearning for closeness With HaShem , stood higher too , on the Mountain , thus not displaying the necessary humility . HaShem Already then , Had Set them to die , But Held Out , as at that time , it was not the time to bring tragedy to such a joyous and Holy Event As HaShem Meeting His people . So their punishment was held out till now , at the time that started the Temple service , the time where Atoning would take place . So it also shows How Merciful HaShem Is , For Waiting Till now , till they again displayed a lack of humility . Also , at the time of the Chait Ha Eigel , HaShem Was Upset With Aharon , even though he did not fashion the calf with his own hands and even though he said to the people , " A festival for HaShem Tomorrow , " thus faithfully believing In HaShem and that Moshe would return , HaShem Still Felt Upset with Aharon and told Moshe That He Would remove all his sons , Sending Out Destructive Angels to do this . Moshe Pleaded for his brother and his brother's sons And So HaShem Relented And Agreed To Keep two of Aharon's sons alive . Moshe continued to pray and hoped HaShem Might Relent . But when Nadav and Avihu again did not display the needed and correct humility and brought their own fire , Even Though HaShem's Fire Was Already a fact On the Mizbayach , HaShem Punished them By Fire Consuming them . Aharon was silent . Our Sages debated how this was so , that Aharon could remain silent at such a sad event , at the death of two of his beloved sons . Aharon , being the Kohein Gadol , had to live by certain Laws , even in mourning and this included his remaining sons Elazar and Ithamar . But within , Aharon felt the turmoil and self - blame , for he blamed himself and his actions at the Chait Ha Eigel , for his two sons having to die . Even Though HaShem Had not Said it was for that reason , Aharon himself felt guilty and blamed himself . Aharon within , questioned the reason for this happening And HaShem Answered Him In Love And HaShem Compassionately Let Aharon Know that Nadav and Avihu were now in a position that they so desired to be , Close To HaShem , for Torah States , " I Will Be Sanctified Through those who are nearest Me . " Thus Aharon was silent , seeing From HaShem , that his beloved sons Nadav and Avihu , were very holy and were now ' nearest HaShem . " Moshe summoned Aharon's cousins Mishael and Elzaphan and had them remove the bodies of Nadav and Avihu , with metal rods , for they could not enter The Place Of Holiness . Because Aharon kept silent and accepted HaShem's Judgement , HaShem Rewarded Aharon And Spoke to Aharon Directly , that no intoxicating wine was to be drunk when he or his sons come into the Ohel Mo'ed - The Tent of Meeting , lest they die , for Nadav and Avihu , had drunk more than the permitted Revi'is of Wine , before they had entered , another Aveirah that they had done . We read the portion in Acharei Mos , on Yom Kippur , which refers to the death of Aharon's two sons , for the death of the Righteous , can atone for the People , in the generation . The Torah Continues with instructions of more Offerings . A dispute occurred between Moshe and Aharon , where Moshe questioned why his sons had totally burnt the Rosh Chodesh Offering , instead of partaking of part of it , for Moshe assumed that they did not partake of the offering , because they were onnanim - mourners . Aharon told Moshe that seeing as this was an Inauguration day , it was to be totally burnt and Moshe , showing his humility , agreed with him . The Parsha then focuses on one of our Holiest Laws . That of Kashrus . Kashrus keeps us separate from others and also guards us from intermixing and marrying out of our Jewish Faith and thus losing our Jewishness , Chas Ve Shalom . HaShem Commands That only animals that have a totally split hoof right through and that chew the cud , are Kosher . We note that domestic animals and not wild animals are Kosher , For HaShem Wants To Instil In us , a quietude and not a wildness , within our characters . HaShem Mentions that there are only four animals , that either display one or the other trait and these four animals are the camel , the hyrax , the hare and the pig ( the pig being like Amalek Edom , that holds up its outer show , its feet - hands to show it might look Kosher , but inside , not chewing the cud , it is totally un Kosher - totally Treifah ) . Scientists once did a check World-wide to try and find if there were any other animals besides these , that displayed one or the other trait and came to the conclusions that in the whole World , only these four had one or the other trait . Only HaShem Who Knows What the trait of any and every animal is , Could Have Known such a fact , To Only Write these four animals and no and none other . HaShem's Torah Is Straight From HaShem Only . HaShem Then Tells us which Fish are Kosher . Those that have Fins and Scales in the water , in the seas and in the streams . HaShem Then Instructs on which Birds are Kosher and Gives us a list of the wild birds that kill and so , such traits are not Kosher . Torah Mentions the wild birds that are not Kosher , for the list that are Kosher , would be more . HaShem Then Instructs On the Insects that are and are not And Continues To Teach About other creatures too and contamination , on things touching their carcasses . For we are to be a holy people unto The L-RD our G-D , Sanctifying ourselves and becoming holy , For HaShem Is Holy . For it Is HaShem , Who Elevates us from the land of Egypt , That HaShem Is G-D Unto us And As HaShem Says , " you shall be holy , For I Am Holy . ". So ends the Parsha . This Parsha is called " Shemini , " which means " Eighth . " This was the final Eighth day , after the preparations of setting up and dismantling the Mishkan every day for the seven preparation days , before-hand , when on the Eighth day , on the First of Nissan , the Mishkan was finally set up to and for Aharon the Kohein Gadol to do his Avodas HaShem . The Number Eight in Judaism , has always referred to Holiness . We are reminded of the time of the Jewish Calendar between Pesach and Shavuos when every evening , we Jews count the Omer . We count 49 days , which is Seven weeks and then , the day after , that Fiftieth day ( like the Seven years of Shemittah Sabbatical Years and Seven of them counted , makes the next year , that Fiftieth Year , a Yovel Jubilee Year ) , like that supposed - Eighth Day ( that day or year after the Sevens ) , is Shavuot , which was The Holy Day On Which HaShem Came Down On Har Sinai And Gave us His Beautiful Torah , thus it was and so is , the number Eight , a day of Revelation . Between Pesach , after we left Mitzrayim Egypt , a place lowest in Spiritual Purity , a place highest in Spiritual degradation , we needed these Seven Weeks and 49 days ( like the 49 Levels or Gates of Holiness that exist that Moshe climbed ) , to spiritually better ourselves and purify ourselves , as we headed toward the Holy Day of Shavuos , on which we would receive HaShem's Revelation , on that Fiftieth day ( the day after the sevens - which is , the Eighth Day ) and so we would have , by then , purified ourselves and climbed Spiritually , to meet HaShem . It is also on the Eighth day , that a Jewish boy is to be given a Bris , Circumcision , to come into the Covenant of HaShem . This is such a Holy Mitzvah , that it is even done on Shabbos , if that turns out to be the Eighth day . Adam Ha Rishon ( as was Moshe ) , Was Created circumcised , As HaShem Wants it and thus this Eighth Day is a Sweet Continuation of how it was to be at the beginning of Creation , for had Adam Ve Chava not sinned , then after that first Shabbos , life and all things would have been Eternal And Close To And In The Arms Of HaShem . That day after the Shabbos Day , would have been the Eighth Day from Creation's Beginning . The Eternal Shabbos . Moshiach , as I have mentioned many times in other writings , has a Gematriah of Seven and is to come , if we have not become worthy yet , at the end of the 6000 years ( 6093 to be exact ) , which matches being at the ' Day in Creation ' of that ' Sixth Day of Creation . ' And after that , like in the period after ' 6 ' , which is ' 7 , ' Mashiach is to come . Thus the period of Moshiach , is as the period of Sevens . The Spiritual Time that will come after that , is as the Spiritual Time , of the " Eights . " Thus the Spiritual Time of this ' Eight - Period , ' is to be A Time Of Revelation Of HaShem , That Is To Come After the coming of Mashiach . The Day of the Final Inauguration , At The End Of Days , is thus related to this Inauguration in our Holy Parsha , which also took place on the " Shemini " - " Eighth " Day . The Day Of HaShem's Revelation . Within the word " Shemini , " are the words ' Shemi Ni , ' Which In Reference To HaShem , would mean ' My Name ( HaShem ) Is My Thanks . ' Thus within this Final Eighth Day , Will Be HaShem's Revelation and our true and proper Appreciation and Thanks For What HaShem Did , Does And Has Always Done For us And For All Creation Which , At The End Of Days , we will truly understand . We will really see In All HaShem's Beauty , All That HaShem Has Done And Why HaShem Did The Things He Did and We will then , truly appreciate All That HaShem Did , for then we will understand the meaning of what had to be . It will be then that we will truly appreciate HaShem And HaShem's Total Goodness and realize how appreciative and thankful , we should have always been . We cannot now fully understand existence . But At The End Of Days , we will understand better and realize how much we should have been thankful To HaShem . It is so important To Thank And Bless HaShem . We do not realize how important It Is . If we would all Acknowledge And Thank HaShem Only , that action alone of our Appreciation , could bring on The End Of Days . It is so important to say our Brochas And Thanks To HaShem every day , every moment and all the time . That ' Thanking - ' Todah , ' of HaShem , ' is within that number " Shemini " - " Eighth " and the Bringing On Of The End Of Days , where the Hebrew Word ' Todah ' in Gematriah is 400 + 6 + 4 + 5 = 415 and 4 + 1 + 5 = 10 and 1 + 0 = 1 , the number of completion where we Join HaShem's Oneness and bring Creation , Which Was Created With HaShem's Ten Pronouncements , To It's Final End , At The End Of Days and so our Appreciation shows that we all realize That HaShem Is The One And Only True G-D That Exists And That There Is none other And That we should all Thank HaShem Only For Creation and all that is in It . Appreciation Of HaShem Is A Pathway To Bring HaShem's Revelation . We must Always Thank And Bless HaShem . We must Always Appreciate HaShem . We must Always Follow HaShem Only . That Will Bring In That Final Eighth Day - That Final " Shemini , " That Final Calling of Moshiach to usher in The End Of Days And The Sweet Closeness Of HaShem's Revelation , To Finally Live Within HaShem's Closest Love And Care . Thank You HaShem For All That You Have Done , For All That You Do And For All That You Will Do . Thank You HaShem For Ever Most Beloved You . I wish Ever Most Eternally Forever Beloved HaShem With Forever And Sweet And Special And Most Beautiful Deepest Love Always , A Very Sweet And Beautiful And Special Shabbos Kodesh With Forever Deepest Love and to all my fellow Jews and to all of Creation , a Very Sweet and Beautiful And Special Shabbos Kodesh With Love .

This Shabbos is Parashas Tzav and this Shabbos is also Shabbos Parashas Parah , so we read Parashas Tzav from the first Torah scroll and then Parashas Parah from the second Torah Scroll of Numbers 19 : 1 - 22 and the Haftorah for Parashas Parah , which makes reference to purity from sins as does the Parah Adumah purify those its ashes are sprinkled upon , is in Ezekiel 36 : 16 -36 . Parashas Parah deals with the Parah Adumah and issues of Ritual Purity which we read as we approach Pesach , to remind us to be ritually pure at this time as Pesach approaches . The explanations of the Korbanos continue in this Sedra of Parashas Tzav , with more direct Commandments in this Parsha to and for the Kohein Gadol and the other Kohanim , Teaching Of The Three Altar Fires , the Mincha - Meal Offering and more explanations on the Chatas - Sin Offering is given as well as the Asham - Guilt Offering and the Zevach HaShlamim - The Feast Peace - Offering . In the second verse of our Parsha , the word " Mokdah " - " Flame " is written with a small Hebrew Letter ' Mem . ' HaShem Has His Own Special Reasons For Doing What He Does And All Secrets Are With HaShem , But if we look at the word " Mokdah " That Has Been Given a small Hebrew Letter ' Mem ' as if it is silent , then it leaves the word ' Okdah ' and putting this together with the word before it " Al , " we get two words ' Alu Kadah ' which means to' Rise ' by ' Bowing . ' Taking this in context with the " Flame " being referred to , it can be saying that the " Flame " ' Rises ' to Holiness by it ' Bowing ' To HaShem . So if even a Flame that is connected with the " Olah " - " Elevation Offering " ' Rises ' Towards HaShem by ' Bowing ' To HaShem and thus ' Rising ' To HaShem by acknowledging HaShem , how much more so do we and all of Creation need To ' Bow ' Only To HaShem . The word " Mokeid " does not only mean " Flame , " but it also means ' Focus ' and so must we ' Focus ' Totally On HaShem in every Mitzvah that we do and also when we Daven - Pray and not focus on anyone or anything else , For HaShem Is One And In Keeping HaShem's " Tzav " - " Command , " In Love For HaShem , That HaShem Commands Of us In HaShem's Holy Torah , we will ' Rise ' To HaShem if we ' Focus ' on and ' Bow ' Only To HaShem and if we do All That HaShem Commands Of us To Do . HaShem Then Commands In the Parsha that we not eat any fat of that which can be brought as a Fire Offering To HaShem , nor the fat of an animal that died , or one torn to death , for anyone who eats the fat of an animal species from that which one may bring as a fire offering To HaShem , that soul will be cut off from its people . The same goes for any person who consumes any blood , that soul will be cut off from its people . HaShem Tells Moshe To Take Aharon and his sons and the Garments and the Oil of Anointment and the Offerings and the Basket of Matzos and gather the entire Assembly to the entrance of The Tent of Meeting and immerse Aharon and his sons in water , dress them in the Priestly Garments and Anoint the Tabernacle and everything in it and Anoint them and then have them do the necessary Offerings and do the Sprinklings and Inaugurate Aharon and his sons into the Priesthood and from then on , Aharon would officiate as Kohein Gadol and his sons as Kohanim and when all was done As HaShem Commanded , HaShem's Shechinah Rested On The Aron and this day was Rosh Chodesh Nissan , the start of the Holy Month of Nissan , the month in which Passover comes . Aharon and his sons did All That HaShem Had Commanded Through Moshe . This is where this Holy Parasha ends . We are in a very Holy time right now . We have just celebrated Purim , Where HaShem Saved us after we returned to our Holy Torah . So let us all at this time of our Jewish Calendar take stock of ourselves And Return To HaShem , Doing And Obeying HaShem's Holy Mitzvos And Commandments and let us return to being Holy Torah Jews and usher in The Third Holy Temple and Olam Habah , Returning To HaShem In Love , as we did at the time of Purim When HaShem Fought amalek For us and bring on The End Of Days With Closeness To HaShem HaKadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . This Parsha is called Parashas " Tzav " - " Command . " Our Midrash tells us How HaShem Was Still A Little Upset With Aharon for the incident of the Chait Ha Eigel - the golden calf and Moshe spoke up for his brother that what his brother had done was only to delay the people till Moshe would return and that Aharon had thrown the gold into the furnace and the calf emerged on its own , via the negative powers of Tum'a . HaShem Had Created these powers of negativity So As To Test us Through Time , To Test if we would still follow HaShem and not go after such negative things and rather that we should Stand Fast By HaShem And HaShem's Commandments Only and never delve into , or be tempted by these negative forces of Tum'a . HaShem Knew That Aharon still felt very bad about the incident and his part in it , even if he did not actually make the Eigel himself , for Aharon too was a very humble man , who was actually heading the Jews in Egypt after Amram , his Father had passed and so was it put in Torah that Aharon , as their Leader in Egypt , had been responsible for the Chait Ha Eigel , bringing a grievous sin upon them , even though he did not actually physically build the calf ( Shemos Exodus 32 : 24 ) , for a Leader holds the responsibility of the people he leads and what they do . So Aharon had led the people till Moshe , his younger brother by three years , had become the Leader And So HaShem Knew That Aharon would not want to accept this Kavod , this Honour of Kohein Gadol , feeling completely unworthy of such a high position , So HaShem Therefore Said To Moshe That he must thus " Tzav " - " Command " Aharon to take up the position . HaShem Knew Aharon's deep feelings And HaShem Knew That Aharon had not lost faith In HaShem And HaShem Knew That Aharon's intentions were meant well , Aharon meaning to destroy the gold rings in the furnace so that the people would not use them for idol worship , yet Aharon did not contemplate the evil Micha and Bilaam's sons Yanus and Yambrus , using the powers of Tum'a to make it into a golden calf . And So HaShem " Tzav " - " Commanded " Aharon through Moshe , to take up his responsibility , As HaShem Commands , as Kohein Gadol . So Aharon did so and so did his sons also become Kohanim . The First Temple Service of the day was the Terumas Ha Deshen , the Separating of the Ash , including removing the Ash from the day before , which deeply shows us That each day That HaShem Gives us is a beautiful opportunity to better ourselves every day from the day before and grow on from there and correct our past , every day That HaShem Gives us Life , Just As Every Day That HaShem In HaShem's Everlasting Holy Mercy , Creates Creation Anew , With New Opportunities For us , to change for the Good . Each day is connected to the day before and we can , every day we Are Given By HaShem , make up for the day or days before , by improving every day and correcting ourselves every day , to make ourselves every day , more Holy and more Mitzvah Following . HaShem , In This Commandment Here With The Task Of The Ashes , Is Teaching That no task For HaShem , is menial . Every Task that we perform For HaShem , no matter how simple or small it may be , Has Very Great And Deep Value . Everything that we do For HaShem , HaShem Appreciates , no matter how big or small It Is . Every sacrifice that we make in our lives For HaShem , HaShem Appreciates . Every little act of kindness we perform , no matter how big or small It Is , even to just warm another person's heart with a simple smile , HaShem Appreciates , for even a little smile can and does give a person a will to live . The results of our small actions , we do not see . Only HaShem Does And Knows the need for them in the Scheme of Things . How Beautiful Is our Beloved HaShem G-D The One And Only . The fire on the Altar was to be kept burning and was not to be extinguished . This too is a lesson to us that we must keep within us at all times , The Fire In our Soul Burning Forever To HaShem , teaching to our children and children's children to keep the Fire Burning , Of HaShem's Holy Torah , Within us Always , From Generation To Generation , Always Burning And Elevating ourselves Toward HaShem , To Be Always Aflame Within us , keeping our Holy Mitzvos And Jewish Traditions Forever Everlasting And Aflame Within us , Always Climbing Up To HaShem , just as the flame on a candle burns upwards . A Mitzvah must never just be an obligation . Every Miztvah that we do , Must Be Lit With The Flame Within us Of Yearning To Do HaShem's Will . We must not just do HaShem's Laws out of ' having to , " with no feeling , Chas Ve Shalom . Sure we have to do Them and must do Them , even when one doesn't always feel as one should . But when we do the Mitzvah - the " Tzav " - " Command " With Fire From Within us , from our Heart and Soul being in our action , then that Mitzvah Can " Elevate Itself " And Carry Itself Up To Shamayim Heaven . A person once came and asked a Rabbi saying , " Rabbi , which is the most important Mitzvah to do ? " The Rabbi asked him which he thought was the most important one and the person gave different responses and then asked the Rabbi if the Rabbi felt he was right . The Rabbi said , " Yes , all the Mitzvahs that you mentioned are all very important , but you asked me which is the most important Mitzvah didn't you , so nu , tell me what you think it is . " The man said that he did not know and then asked the Rabbi to tell him which is the most important Mitzvah . The Rabbi responded and said , " The most important Mitzvah , is the Mitzvah that you need to do at that very moment that you need to do that Mitzvah and that is the most important Mitzvah , for they are all important in that very moment that you come across the time that that particular Mitzvah becomes needed to be done . " This is so true . All Mitzvahs From HaShem Are So Important And Each One , Each Mitzvah that we need to do , Has Its place In Creation , For Each One , Each Mitzvah For us , Is A Part Of The Building Up Of Creation And Thus Each Mitzvah That we do , Has Its Own Time To Need To Be Done In Creation And Thus Each Mitzvah Is Important At The Time That we Need To Do That Mitzvah When That Mitzvah's Time To Be Done , Comes Along And When That Mitzvah Needs To Be Fulfilled And So Each Mitzvah Is Important And Makes Up The Total Fabric Of Creation , For Each Mitzvah That we each and all need to do , Is There To Build And Take Creation To It's Destination Of The End of Days And Also we , As The ones who are to Do That Mitzvah , are also Part Of That Pathway Toward The End Of Days And so when we do not do The Mitzvah That Comes our way When It Does , we hold up Coming of The End Of Days for us all , so we are all a part of getting to The End Of Days and so we must Always Obey HaShem , Who In HaShem's Wisdom Knew each and every one of our roles in getting us all to The End Of Days . Each Mitzvah Has Its Special Value , Just As Each Task That Was To Be Done In The Tabernacle In The Wilderness , Had Its Needed Value , like the " Clearing of the Ashes , " just like each one of us In Creation has our Value and Needs To Fulfil our Holy Role For HaShem's Creation . We are all so important and must work together in doing the " Tzav " - " Command " Of HaShem . When HaShem " Tzav " - " Commands , " In What Ever HaShem Commands us , At That Moment To Do , we Must Fulfil It Always , As HaShem Knows All That Creation Needs , To Be Complete . Each " Tzav " - " Command " Has Its Value Beyond what we can imagine for we really do not see The Full Picture . HaShem Does See The Full Picture And What HaShem Commands us To Do , we Must Do , For HaShem's Sake and for the sake of Creation and for our own sake , Must we Do It . Our own wishes see so little . HaShem's Wishes See Everything . So Whatever HaShem " Tzav " - " Commands " each and every day To us , we Must Do . And we Must Do It With A Flame Everlasting , Forever Burning , With our Love For HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . The True Worthy Reward For Each Mitzvah Is So Far Beyond Wat we can physically imagine , for this physical World is not equipped to properly reward us For What Obeying And Doing Each Holy Mitzvah Deserves . Only In Shamayim Heaven , Is The Reward Worthy For Each Mitzvah , so this is why we wait For The True Value Reward For our Mitzvahs that we do . We may wonder why those who do Mitzvahs are not rewarded straight away . The one reason for this is that The Reward For A Mitzvah cannot properly get Its Just Deserve in the physicality of this World . For A Mitzvah Touches Shamayim Heaven and this physical World has not got enough level to properly justly reward For Each Mitzvah that we do . No wonder Pirkei Avos mentions that the reward for the Righteous is in The World To Come , for that World is much higher than this World and can more properly reward a person For The Mitzvah that they did down here and so this World , as Pirkei Avos teaches us , is for us to prepare our selves here in the lobby ( Olam HaZeh This World ) before we enter the banquet hall ( Olam HaBah The World To Come ) . So let every action that we do , Be For HaShem and let Every Mitzvah that we obey , Prepare us all to enter the Banquet Hall of Olam HaBah , In Closeness With HaShem HaKadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . I wish Ever Most Forever Beloved HaShem With So Very Much Forever Everlasting And Deepest Love , A Most Special And Beautiful And Sweet Shabbos Kodesh With Everlasting And Deepest Forever Love and to all of my fellow Jews and to all of Creation , a Most Beautiful and Sweet and Healing Shabbos Kodesh with love . HaShem Thank You So Very Much For Letting me write this And For Giving me What To Say . I Love You HaShem .

Our Parsha this Shabbos is Parashas Vayikra , which is also the name of the Third Book of HaShem's Holy Torah And HaShem's Holy Torah Teaching About The Task Of The Levite Kohanim and so This Holy Book Is also known as The Book of Leviticus . Seeing as this is the Shabbos before Purim , It Is Also Parashas Zachor where we remember Amalek and what they did to us as we were leaving Mitzrayim , where all the other nations feared HaShem and Respected HaShem And HaShem's Miracles at the time , but Amalek belittled HaShem and had no respect for HaShem's Almightiness and attacked us from the rear , where our weakest were . Purim is again an attempted attack on us from Amalek , by their descendant haman , from agag . Thus on this Shabbos , the second of the special Shabboses before Pesach , we remember Amalek And How HaShem , On Purim , Turned Amalek's evil back on them And How HaShem Saved our Jewish people . Thank You HaShem For Always Watching Out For us . On this Shabbos Zachor , for the Maftir , we read the portion for Parashas Zachor in Devarim Deuteronomy 25 : 17 - 19 and the Haftorah for this Sedra is 1 Shmuel Samuel 15 : 1 - 34 , where we read how King Shaul disobeyed HaShem by not killing Agag and how Samuel the Prophet brought to Saul , HaShem's Words and how Agag from Amalek was killed , sadly too late , for he had already procreated and thus his evil line continued down to haman , thus a most suitable Haftorah for Shabbos Parashas Zachor . Sefer Vayikra Leviticus was also referred to as The Book of the Priests Sefer Kohanim . When HaShem Told Moshe to write this part of The Holy Torah of Vayikra , Moshe who was the most humble of men , felt uncomfortable to write the word " Vayikra , " for he felt himself unworthy , as later on In The Holy Torah in Bamidbar Numbers 23 : 4 , Moshe knew That When HaShem Would Communicate With Bilaam , HaShem Only Wrote There , the word " Vayikar , " - " Happened Upon " and here in the Book of Vayikra , HaShem Wrote Out the full word " Vayikra , " Thus Paying Moshe much more respect then Bilaam , who was also to be a prophet of the nations . For Moshe , HaShem Actually Directly Called Moshe , but in the case of Bilaam , where the word is written without an Alef - " Vayikar Elokim , " ( Bamidbar Numbers 23 : 4 ) , HaShem Just Happened By circumstance upon Bilaam , thus showing Bilaam , That HaShem Would Not Really Want To Speak To Bilaam , But Did So out of necessity . So Moshe felt that he did not deserve more honour than others and Bilaam and so Moshe told HaShem that he would prefer not to write out the full word . HaShem , Appreciating Moshe's utmost humility , Decided On a compromise . This compromise was that Moshe would write the word " Vayikra , " but with the last letter Alef , made smaller so that it would look a bit like the word " Vayikar , " ( for a Torah Scroll is written without vowels ) but the Alef would still be there and the fact that it is a smaller letter in size compared to the other letters around it In A Torah Scroll , would always show Moshe's beautiful humility and request . And this is the way the Alef letter appears in every single Torah since it Was Given To Moshe . How Beautiful Is HaShem And How Beautiful Is HaShem's Love For us all and how beautiful is Moshe And HaShem's Love For him . The small Alef can also be viewed in another way . The letter Alef is the first letter In HaShem's Name ' Elokim ' And So HaShem Making the letter Alef smaller , also shows How Much And How Deep Was HaShem's Love For beloved Moshe , That Even HaShem Himself , Being So Taken By Moshe's humility , That HaShem Himself Felt Humbled With Moshe And So HaShem Wrote His Letter That Heads One Of HaShem's Names , Smaller . This can also be viewed in another way . The fact that the letter Alef was made smaller , makes the word " Vayikra , " appear to be almost two different words , the words ' Vayikar Elokim ' which means ' And he ( Moshe ) Called On HaShem And Happened On HaShem ' by his humility . Such is the Tzaddik . When HaShem Is Closely Connected With a Tzaddik , Both HaShem And the Tzaddik feel the subconscious connection With Each Other all the time and by the Tzaddik's very Righteous Life , Is Totally And Permanently Connected With HaShem Our Creator and thus in every action that the Tzaddik does , he is literally Calling HaShem In Closeness . This Closeness With HaShem is what the Book of Vayikra is deeply about . By the very action of The " Korbanos " - " Offerings " , the Levite is doing his duty Of Bringing HaShem Closer To us . The word " Vayikra " has within it the word ' Karov ' which means ' To come close ' And This Is Exactly What HaShem Wants And What Happens when we make right With HaShem and when we offer an offering To HaShem and even when we offer and give of ourselves and our time and obedience To HaShem And HaShem's Commandments , all this brings us ' Karov ' - ' Closer ' To HaShem . When we make right With HaShem , we open The Sweet Threads That Closely Connect us With HaShem And HaShem Turns His Presence To us again . When we make an Aveirah , Chas Ve Shalom , we make distance Between HaShem and us , almost as a child might do if they are constantly recalcitrant and troublesome and disobedient to their dear Parents . The action of the " Korbanos " - " Offerings , " which is also a word within the word " Vayikra , " thus is an Offering to bring close our remorse and thus ' Karov ' - ' Come close ' again to HaShem . The Very Act Of HaShem Calling us , Is Surely HaShem's Deep Desire To Return us To the status quo that was at the beginning When HaShem Made Ten Pronouncements In Creating Creation And That It Was HaShem's Wish For us to go into The Eternal Shabbos , had the Averiah of Adam Ve Chava never happened . HaShem's Deep Desire Is For us to continue from that point just after HaShem Created Creation and so , enter into Eternity in Gan Eiden . This Is HaShem's Wish When HaShem Calls us To Listen To Him . To Return us To the continuation of those Ten Pronouncements that would then have led into the Eternal Shabbos . This Deep Desire Of HaShem , can even be seen in the very fact That HaShem Wrote the word " Vayikra , " with a small Alef to make it appear to be the word ' Vayikar , " which has a Gematrical value of 316 and if we add those three numbers ( 3 + 1 + 6 ) together we get 10 , The Ten Pronouncements By HaShem Through Which HaShem Created Creation . With the Alef added to this concept , It Is HaShem , Represented By the Alef , Who Has The Sweet And Deep Desire To Return us To the track we were on at the beginning after Creation Was Created By HaShem Then , when we were headed into the Eternal Shabbos In Shamayim . So in this Book of Vayikra , HaShem Teaches About the different Korbanos that are to be brought and they are not all for the sake of Aveirahs , for some of them can be Olah Offerings - Elevation Offerings as a means to elevate ourselves ; Mincha Meal Offerings , usually of finely ground flower , oil and frankincense , a voluntary offering , with all its different types for different reasons ; the Shlamim - Peace Offering , by those wishing to express their deep love For HaShem ; a voluntary offering ; and the Chatas Sin Offering , to be brought for a Sin . Torah Teaches that no Chatas Offering may be brought for an intentional sin . This Teaches That HaShem Does Not Accept a sacrifice of atonement for a sin that is intentional . So we cannot bring an offering for every sin committed , as no offering is allowed and accepted for a sin that is intentional . Torah Then Mentions the Asham Offering - The Guilt Offering , for an Aveirah that may possibly but not assuredly have been committed and the person , not being totally sure that the Aveirah was committed , brings a Guilt Offering in the meantime and this is among other reasons for this Korban . HaShem , In This Parsha Of The Holy Torah , Reminds us Also Of The Covenant That HaShem Made With the lower waters . This Covenant Was Made At Creation When HaShem Split the lower waters and the upper ones and the lower waters felt that they would not be As Close To HaShem as the upper ones and felt also that they would never have the opportunity to rise on level to the upper realms And Come Close To HaShem , thus wanting to come Closer To HaShem , but they felt that they would have to remain lower . It was then that the lower waters tried to overflow and rise up above their position and they tried to overcome the Land And It Was Then That HaShem Had To Create a barrier for the sea , so that it would not be able to overcome the Land . It Was Then That HaShem Put a barrier for the Sea . HaShem Appreciated their wish to be Closer To Him And So , Made A Covenant With the lower waters That the Salt within them would need be put on every meal offering so that a part of the lower waters ( which contains salt ) , would be able to also Climb To HaShem . We also used to , on the Festival of Succos , do the Drawing of the Water Ceremony for the duration of Succos , which was called ' Brith Beit Ha Shoevah , ' where water would be poured on the Altar and great celebrations would take place . So the lower waters would also get their opportunity To Climb To HaShem . Thus Does HaShem's Torah Write In Vayikra Leviticus 2 : 13 , That we are to salt every meal-offering with salt and not discontinue the salt of G-D's Covenant ( that HaShem Made at Creation ) , thus offering " Melach " - " Salt " on our every offering . We continue with this idea today in our times , when we dip our Hamotzi Rolls into Salt , on every Shabbos Kiddush Meal , thus also keeping HaShem's Covenant That HaShem Made With the lower waters At the beginning of Creation . The word for " Salt " is " Melach , " which has the same root letters as the word " Malach " - " Angel " and the word " Melech " - " King , " For HaShem Is King and HaShem's Angels Serve HaShem without question and so should we all Acknowledge HaShem As The One and Only True Creator And King Of Creation and so should we always obey and serve HaShem Without question , Just As HaShem's Malachim Angels Obey HaShem Without Question and so should we honour HaShem , The King of kings and keep The Covenant That HaShem Made With the lower waters and so , use " Melach " - " Salt " on every offering we offer to HaShem . No wonder when we truly repent with tears , begging for atonement , the tears come with salt . True repentance is to be done As HaShem Teaches us In His Torah , Only HaShem's Way , The Way That HaShem Asks Of us With His Love , For our benefit , As Taught In HaShem's Holy Torah and no other way . So when we have our Seudahs , our Table is like the Altar and on it , we must have Salt . Within the word " Vayikra , " is the word ' Karah . ' HaShem " Karah " - " Calls " us all the time . The word " Karah , " here in the word " Vayikra , " is preceded by a Hebrew letter ' Yud ' - Which Is Also A Letter Of HaShem's Name and in the format of tenses , the ' Yud ' has the word " Vayikra , " refer to a tense format that says " And HaShem Called or Calls , " For It Is HaShem , Every Second Of Creation Who Is Constantly Calling Out To us . In the previous Sedra , The Tabernacle was completed And Now HaShem Calls Out To us . The fact that the Tabernacle had to be completed first with all its construction and only then could the Kohanim serve As HaShem Calls the Service to be done , shows us that we all need to prepare ourselves and get ourselves ready through effort and obedience To HaShem And Then HaShem Will Call Out To us . But first we need to prepare . This stage we are in since Creation , is the preparation stage . We notice that as each day goes by , we are coming closer to a head in Creation and so , this is the time that we need to do our best to prepare ourselves For HaShem To " Vayikra " - " Call " To us . HaShem Is Already Calling To us . HaShem Has Been Calling To us Since The Beginning . We just do not listen . The Words And Voice Of HaShem That Went Out To us On Har Sinai Is Still Going Through the centuries with no echo for nothing can possibly contain or halt HaShem's Powerful Voice ( thus there is no echo In HaShem's Voice ) . All we need to do is listen For It . HaShem's Voice Has Been Traveling Ever Since Then And Will Continue Eternally . We just need to Listen and Obey and allow HaShem's ' Karov ' - ' Closeness ' in . Then HaShem Can Dwell Within each and every one of us . Now things are getting closer to The End Of Days and so we really need to take stock of our lives and what we have become and work to better ourselves through this period , that is trying and testing each and every one of us . This Time is not for nothing . This Time is an opportunity to grow and better ourselves , making The Right Holy Choices , Following HaShem's Way Only . Let us not waste It . Let us not waste a single moment of It , For HaShem Gives us each moment to make the best of each moment , in our obedience To HaShem , by making each moment Holy . Let us give up on false beliefs . Let us follow HaShem's Torah True . Let us stop Loshoning each other and hurting each other . Let us all become more Pure and Holy and Respect HaShem's Holy Torah Laws Of Purity . Let us all respect and honour HaShem And HaShem's Holy Torah . Let us all Follow HaShem Only and rid ourselves of ways forbidden By HaShem . Let us put our own needs aside And Put HaShem And HaShem's Needs And Commandments For our benefit First . Let us all use the breath That HaShem Gives us For Life , For Holy purposes And Serve HaShem Only . Let us all open ourselves To HaShem , So That HaShem Will Radiate From Within us all and we will then make this World and all of Creation , a Place Where HaShem Can Dwell Among us In ' Karov ' - ' Closeness . ' Let us All call out To HaShem And HaShem Will " Vayikra " - " Call " Out To us Openly In Ever Deepest Love . Let us all be As HaShem Wants us all To Be And As HaShem Wants HaShem's Creation To Be . Let us all " Vayikra " - " Call out " To HaShem With Sweet Love And Then HaShem Will " Vayikra , " Call Out To us To Come Close To Him And Spend Eternity With HaShem In Gan Eiden Shamayim , With HaShem's Love . So was it in the days of Mordechai and Esther Hadassah , for when we all realized That HaShem Alone Is G-D And when we all Came Close To HaShem And Returned To HaShem's Torah , the most decisive weapon against amalek who seeks to distance our Jewish people from HaShem And HaShem's Torah , Then Did HaShem Come Close To us And Perform A Miracle In Turning Around haman's evil action on his own head And HaShem Saved us In HaShem's Mercy . Thus must we , As A Torah Commandment , never forget what amalek did to us as we were coming forth from Mitzrayim , when they attacked our hindermost and did not even fear HaShem . So must we also within ourselves , rid ourselves of such sentiments of not fearing HaShem by doing wrongly as we might please instead of rightfully being Obedient To HaShem And HaShem's Commandments , for in those moments that we so wrongly choose not to fear HaShem , by putting our own wants wrongly first , it is in those moments that we put distance between HaShem and us emotionally and that is the opposite purpose of Creation , for Creation is To serve And Come Close To our Creator HaShem , for to complete our path back To HaShem , that we should not have done in the beginning , we are To Follow All Of HaShem's Commandments And ' Karov ' - " Vayikra ' - " Come Close To " HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He , In Closeness And Love Always . I wish Forever Most Eternally Beloved HaShem With Deepest And Ever Eternal Love , A Deeply Close Shabbos Kodesh And Chag Purim Sameach With Beautiful Eternal Love And Beautiful Eternal Closeness and to all of my fellow Jews a Very Deeply Holy Shabbos Kodesh and Chag Purim Sameach with love and Closeness With HaShem . Blessed Shabbos Kodesh to all of Creation with love .

Our Parsha this Shabbos after Rosh Chodesh Adar II is Parashas Pekudei . Here , Moshe makes a " Pekudei , " - " Reckoning " of what was used in the construction of the Mishkan and Tabernacle . The Parsha discusses the completion of all the Holy Beautiful Articles That HaShem Instructed To Be Made By Betzalel Ben Uri Ben Chur of the Tribe of Yehudah and with him was Oholiav Ben Achisamach of the Tribe of Dan , who was a carver , weaver and embroiderer . In this Parsha , we are told of the making of Aharon's Holy Vestments , the Ephod ; The " Choshen " - " Breatsplate " ; the " Me'il Ha Eiphod " - " The Robe of the Ephod " ; " The Ketonet " - " The Tunics " ; " The Ttzitz " - " The Headplate " on which was Inscribed " Kodesh La HaShem " - " Holy To HaShem " and all the work was completed Exactly As HaShem Commanded Moshe . We note that the words of each part of the work done in this Parsha that refers to " As HaShem Commanded Moshe , " appears 18 times and it was from this very place In The Holy Torah that The Men of the Great Assembly ordained the 18 Blessings of the Shemoneh Esrei that we Jews Daven as the Amidah ( before the 19th one was added about Being Faithful To HaShem against heretical Avodah Zorah , when it was safer for Yidden to pray this without murder or reprisals from Non Jews ) . Moshe Inspected the Work brought to him and Moshe saw that all was done According To HaShem's Wish And Command and Moshe Blessed them . This Work had taken three months and was completed on the 25th of Kislev . But HaShem Who Is All Knowing Wanted the Inauguration to take place in the Hebrew month of Nissan and so the 25th of Kislev was bypassed . HaShem Did Not Want The Hebrew Month of Kislev to miss out and so this date of the 25th of Kislev became the first day of our Jewish Festival of Chanukah . ( Midrash Says - Shemos by Rabbi Weissman ) . HaShem Commands All To Be Erected and on completion of Moshe putting It All together when it was all erected , The Cloud Covered the Tent of Meeting And HaShem's Glory Filled the Tabernacle . Only when the Cloud did rise , would K'lal Yisrael journey . By Day , The Cloud Of HaShem Was On the Tabernacle And Fire By Night . If we think very carefully about the weight of all the Holy Articles That Moshe alone put together and set up , when all the Holy Articles were completed , we realize that this task was too great for a human to manage on his own , even a man as strong as Moshe Rabbeinu , for the weight and magnitude of such a task was beyond human power and even the setting up of this Very Holy Tabernacle , which included holding large parts up while underneath inserting other parts , was certainly beyond human power to do alone so we can see That HaShem Gave Moshe Special Strength And Power And Ability to do this Beautiful Act Of Moshe's Love To HaShem Of Setting Everything Up And Without A Doubt HaShem Assisted Moshe . The Very Fact that Moshe was such an extremely Holy Man , Allowed Moshe to be In A Position Of Closeness With HaShem and so he could be HaShem's Vessel to perform HaShem's Wonders , as Moshe was In Total Oneness With HaShem And HaShem's Will . So could we perform super human feats for the Holy and Good if only we would be Close and our actions Close and in Total Alignment With HaShem's Will , Doing Only For HaShem And His Jewish People , for this is how Moshe was in every action that he did in these years in the Wilderness and before we left Egypt , as Moshe spent every moment of his time Doing HaShem's Will Only and putting his own will totally aside to serve HaShem Only . This is how we must be . Every moment of Moshe's leadership of us at the time , was totally selfless And For HaShem and us only and so Moshe's " Pekudei " - " Reckoning " and accounting was Totally For HaShem Only . So should we live our lives the very same way or For HaShem and our people And HaShem's Creation . It is here that the Parsha , the last Sedra of the Second Book of the Torah which is Shemos Exodus ends . The Haftorah of this Parsha is from 1 Kings 7 : 51 - 8 : 21 and refers to the Inauguration of The Temple by Shlomo Ha Melech , a similar theme to this week's Sedra . Some Sephardim read the previous Sedra's Haftorah . Moshe being a most honest and above board leader , made a " Pekudei " - a " Reckoning " of all that was donated and that went into the construction . Moshe had heard words against him privately and felt the need to show that he had handled all things honestly . The very word " Pakad " which is within the word " Pekudei , " means " to entrust and appoint , to number and to Command, to inspect and to remember . " Moshe had done all By HaShem's Command And It Was Only By HaShem , that after the construction of each part , Did HaShem Allow it all miraculously to come together via Moshe , thus showing that Moshe was The Chosen Leader Of HaShem, for others tried to put It all together and failed , but when Moshe came into contact with each part , it miraculously came together . The word " Pekudei " also has within it a similar root " Pakod Yifkod , " which was pronounced to Yosef in his time , that the one who comes in the later generation and says these words will be the true redeemer to take us out of Mitzrayim Egypt , when that time arrives and so did HaShem Instruct Moshe at the burning bush about these words in Shemos Exodus 3 : 14 - 17 that Moshe was to say these words to the elders which Moshe did in Shemos Exodus 4 : 29 - 31 when Moshe came back to Egypt to lead us Jews out of there . These words mean "And will surely Remember " and these are the words that echo our redemption When HaShem Frees us From Galus . The same idea will come with and in Mashiach's time When HaShem " Pakod Yifkod " Will Surely Remember us , where there will be a full " Pekudei , " - " Reckoning and Accounting " of ourselves and we will become hopefully deserving of The End Of Days . The very Word " Pekudei " has within it the words " Pakod Dai " which means " Will remember , when it is " Enough " in other words It Refers To HaShem Remembering us To Save us when we have reached The Level of Holiness That Is Enough to warrant being Saved , which is accomplished By Keeping HaShem's Commandments In HaShem's Holy Torah . Though our Rabbis do show That HaShem May Bring the Time on by His Mercy . It starts with us every day and every hour , making our own " Pekudei " - " Accounting and Reckoning " of ourselves to ensure that we have done all that we can For HaShem . We are to make a constant reckoning of ourselves and our behaviour and make sure that we improve Toward HaShem all the time , every moment of every day and night . We are not here to stagnate and waste the precious lives That HaShem Gives us . Our Very Path Must Be To Always Grow Toward HaShem , To Emulate HaShem In All That we can And All That we do And All That we say and think . We need to be honest with our faults so that we can correct them , for hiding them Chas Ve Shalom , gets us nowhere . The only way to truly better ourselves is to admit our mistakes and work on them . HaShem Gives us the opportunity to make a Reckoning of ourselves , Only Out Of HaShem's Love For us And our Closeness To HaShem . We should do this every day and all the time , not just looking out at others and how they act but first starting to take a " Pekudei " - " Reckoning " of ourselves . When we have done that and purified ourselves , Then HaShem Will Return Himself To us Within us . Then HaShem Will Return To Be Close To us . It all starts with a " Pekudei " - " Reckoning " Of ourselves . The Sedra starts with the words " Eileh Ha Pekudei Ha Mishkan " - " These are the Reckonings of the Tabernacle , " which sounds very much like it includes times still ongoing into the future . In other words , the " Pekudei " - " Reckoning " from then , is still continuing today , For These Words Are Still A Command From HaShem To Always Scrutinize ourselves And Improve ourselves For HaShem , Always Following HaShem's Holy Mitzvos And Commandments . The Sweetest Way To Do That Is To " Pakod " - " Remember All That HaShem Does For us and how little we do For HaShem . Let us start today to reciprocate and give back To HaShem , by making a " Pekudei " - " A Reckoning " of ourselves and let us make every effort to improve ourselves In Torah Mitzvos , so that we can present ourselves To HaShem , That HaShem May Inaugurate us To Himself . Parashas Pekudei Speaks of The " Reckonings " - " Pekudei " and refers to the accounting of what was made at that time and to the specific way and order and amount That HaShem Instructed . This can also relate to The Shabbos For It is a day of our accounting of obedience To HaShem , where we reckon and account our soul , to make it Holier and so , climb Holy Levels On The Holy Shabbos . The very articles that were " Pekudei " - " Reckoned " in Parashas Pekudei , in their accounting of being part of all The Holy Things That HaShem Instructed , Became Holy in the ' Reckoning , " for in their " Reckoning and Accounting , " they were Inaugurated to their Holy Service . The Same is with The Holy Torah Of HaShem That we take out on Shabbos And All The Holy Mitzvos That HaShem Commands us To Do like the Mezuzah that we put on our door-posts and The Tefillin that we wear for Shacharis and The Tallis that we wear in Davening and all The Other Mitzvos Of HaShem and the Siddurim and Machzorim that we Daven with and also with The Holy Seforim that we learn from and with every Holy Article that we use , for in using Them , we instil That Holy Article With HaShem's Kedushah From HaShem's Holy Essence . Within the word " Pekudei " - " Reckoning , " is the Start of Creation - The Beginning , " for the Gematriah of the word " Pekudei , " is 80 + 100 + 6 + 4 + 10 = 200 which is also the Gematrical value of the Hebrew Letter ' Reish , ' and if we say the letter as it is spelt as ' Reish , ' then the Hebrew Word ' Reishah , ' means ' Beginning , ' where the ' Ah ' sound at the end of it represents ' Elokim ' - ' HaShem ' and thus shows that the ' Reish- ah ' is that Hebrew Letter Reish with HaShem and so suggests ' The Beginning ( of Creation ) With HaShem . ' Also the letter Reish as it looks as a letter , appears to come down From The Higher Planes , down to us and so with " Pekudei " - taking a final " Reckoning , " we can bring Creation To It's Final Intention and enter into The Eternal Shabbos " With HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . I wish Ever Most Beloved HaShem With The Sweetest Eternal And Forever Love , a Very Sweet And Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with Forever Faithful Love and to all of my fellow Jews and to all of Creation , a very Sweet and Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love .

Our Parsha this week is Parashas Vayakhel on this first of four special Shabboses before Pesach. This Shabbos is Shabbos Shekalim , that always comes out just before the month of the Adar in which we celebrate Purim , to remind us to give our half shekel . This year being a leap year where there is a second Adar, we celebrate Purim in Adar II and thus start with Shabbat Shekalim on this Shabbos before Adar II . So , we read our Sedra Vayakhel from one Torah Scroll and then Exodus 30 : 11 - 16 for Parashas Shekalim from a Second Torah Scroll and the Haftorah that we would read for Parashas Vayakhel , is replaced and we read the Haftorah for Parashas Shekalim which is II Kings 11 : 17 - 12 : 17 , which makes reference to the half shekel , which Jews are to give at this time . Seeing as Rosh Chodesh Adar II comes out on the next day , we also add to the Haftorah , the first and last verses of the Haftorah for Shabbos Erev Rosh Chodesh , which is I Samuel 20 : 18 , 42 . We give at this time before the month of Adar in which Purim comes out , so as to counteract what evil Haman gave to King Achashveiros , For So Did HaShem Command us To Do , to give at this time , Knowing what Haman would do . How interesting that the amount collected when this Command was first given , say some of our Rabbonim , was the exact amount in value , to the amount that Haman paid into the royal treasury of King Achashveiros as stated in the Purim Megillah , to have us Jews killed , So HaShem Foresaw this happening in the future And HaShem Ensured That we Jews would cover ourselves later on in history and so we did . Every That HaShem Asks Of us something , It Is Always For A Good Reason , even if we do not always understand it at the time and so we must always have Emunah And Bitachon - Faith And Trust In HaShem Who Is All Knowing . Parashas Vayakhel starts With HaShem Commanding About The Holy Shabbos . In our last Parsha , we ended the Sedra describing Moshe's Radiant face and in Parashas Vayakhel which means " Assembled , " Moshe Assembles the Entire Assembly of the Children of Israel , " to tell them the specific things That HaShem Commanded , starting with The Holy Laws Of The Shabbos . HaShem's Holy Torah Then Speaks Of The Contributions To Be Given . Moshe relates That HaShem Said That the people must bring " Kol Nediv Libo , " - " Everyone whose heart motivates him " and further on Torah Says " Asher N'sa'o Libo , " - " whose heart inspired him , " so this giving had to be from us , from our heart , not as a force , but as an action of love and total giving , For HaShem And His Mitzvos . This is how we are To Do All Of HaShem's Mitzvos , with an act of Love , not just obligation . This sweetens the action of The Mitzvah that we do and the Holy action that we do can the rise to Shamayim , longing for Closeness With HaShem's Holy Crown , Which HaShem Keeps and for every heart - felt Mitzvah that we do and in a loving way , HaShem Engraves this On This Particular Spiritual Crown , Shining For the Universes Of Creation , so our very Mitzvos that we do with a loving and giving heart , helps to light up the Universes of Creation . How Beautiful And Special Is HaShem HaKadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . HaShem's Holy Torah Continues with how the people came For The Avodas HaShem , to make all that had to be made , under Betzalel and Oholiav . All that was made and given , could not have Made Such a beautiful Holy Tabernacle , Unless HaShem Gave Toward The Work Too , for when the people started to Work , in total heart - giving in earnest , HaShem Assisted And The Work Was Done . Just As HaShem Will Do With us , when we put our heart and soul into doing HaShem's Mitzvos And Avodas HaShem ( The Work Of HaShem ) , HaShem Will Assist us too . Just As HaShem Commanded That The Holy Tabernacle And The Work Be Done , so it was , Exactly As HaShem Wanted It Done , so Betzalel and Oholiav Were Given A Vision From HaShem's Perspective , Of Each Part's Deeper Meaning , so that they could be able to make everything with such Depth , Just As HaShem Commanded , According To HaShem's Commandments And Wants . In fact the people brought over much leaving their contributions outside Moshe's tent and Moshe had to stop them from bringing , for it was more than enough . After about three months all was completed , which was a total Miracle for what was needed to be done , So HaShem Really Did Assist and once it was all finished , it was all brought to Moshe to inspect . And Moshe was content that all was done According To HaShem's Wish . The Work was completed in Kislev , but as the Midrash tells us , HaShem Waited Till Rosh Chodesh Nissan To Have It Erected , which according to Tanchuma , was when Yitzchak was born in the month of Nissan , thus all that we are to do , is also tied to our holy Patriarchs . The Month of Kislev was thus missed out having a holier day within it And So HaShem Granted In the month of Kislev another Festival , the Festival of Chanukah and its Miracle From HaShem . The Tabernacle was actually erected and dismantled every day by Moshe for a week , before the First of Nissan and only finally on the First Day of the Month of Nissan , was The Tabernacle put up permanently and Inaugurated . Moshe Served as Kohein Gadol for that first week that he was setting It up and taking It down before the Inauguration and after the Inauguration of the Tabernacle it was Aharon who served as Kohein Gadol and his sons were inaugurated for service as Kohanim And Only Then Did The Cloud Cover The Tent of Meeting And HaShem's Glory Fill The Tabernacle . When The Cloud would lift , we would journey And When It Remained On The Tabernacle , we would not journey . The Cloud Of HaShem Would Be On The Tabernacle By day And The Fire Would Be On It By night , throughout all our journeys in the Wilderness . Parashas Vayakhel starts By HaShem Having Moshe Teach About The Holy Shabbos . HaShem , In six days , Made All Things . HaShem Made The Heavens And The Earth In Six Days , Making in those six days , All that Was , Is And Will Be , right up until The End Of Days And On The Seventh Day Shabbos , HaShem Rested and so must we Rest on Shabbos . In Six Days , HaShem Allows work to be done and so , even if that work is not completed by the Seventh Day , we must still stop and Keep Shabbos For HaShem And HaShem's Creation . HaShem Gives us six other days to do labour and other things permitted By HaShem's Holy Torah , so we can at least give HaShem one day , To Be Close To HaShem In Love . In the Wilderness , people used to study Torah every day . The Torah Came Up To HaShem And Said That when we arrive in Eretz Yisrael , we will not study Torah , or as much of It as before , because we will busy ourselves with labour in the Land . So HaShem Said To The Torah That It should not worry For HaShem Instructs us that we are to do our labour for six days and that Seventh Day Shabbos , we are to spend with The Holy Torah , From HaShem , studying It , The Holy Torah Of HaShem , Coming Closer To HaShem On The Holy Shabbos , though we must study HaShem's Holy Torah every day , for as we know , studying HaShem's Holy Torah Brings us Closer To HaShem every time that we study HaShem's Holy Torah . Every other Day , has a partner day , where Yom Rishon , has Yom Sheini and Yom Shelishi has Yom Revi'i and Yom Chamishi has Yom Shishi , But Shabbos Came To HaShem And Said That It Has No Partner . HaShem Responded That The Jewish People will Rest on It and they will be Shabbos Day's Partner . So we Jews must Rest on The Holy Shabbos and give ourselves To HaShem And HaShem's Holy Shabbos , On The Holy Shabbos Day . We note that in the words in this Parsha , " Shabbat Shabbaton , " - " A Shabbos of Complete Rest , " the Word Shabbat is repeated ( " Shabbat " " Shabbat 'on " , for we must not just rest for ourselves or for our own definitions of rest , but it must be A " Complete Rest , " A Rest According To What HaShem Deems As Rest . Also like the Hebrew Word ' Shalom , ' which also means ' Completeness as well as Peace , ' So Must Shabbos Be A Day Of Total Completeness And Peace , With And Close To HaShem , making sure that we stop doing all the 39 Melachos , the Forbidden Labours Of Shabbos , that physically would prevent that ' Spiritual Rest Of Completeness . ' On Shabbos , we get an extra Shabbos soul , that leaves at the end of every Shabbos , A Spiritual Connection Close To HaShem . Before Shabbos , we welcome the Shabbos Bride with the singing of a song written by the Kabbalist Rabbi Shlomo Ha Levi Alkabetz ( Artscroll Siddur ) - ' Lecha Dodi Likras Kallah , P'nei Shabbas N'Kabalah ' - ' Come ( also us Jews ) my Beloved ( HaShem ) , To Greet the Bride ( Shabbos ) , The Sabbath Presence , let us welcome , ' for we Jews are The Partner To The Holy Shabbos Of HaShem . In days of old , some of our people used to go out onto the road and welcome in , The Essence Of Shabbos . So long have we heard the true statement , that it is not just that we Jews keep Holy The Shabbos , But That The Holy Shabbos Has Kept us through the centuries , remaining In It's Full Obedience , The Holy Parts Of That First Light Of Creation , That HaShem Has Given us , in keeping us truly Torah Jewish , In Its Full Observance . When HaShem First Created Creation , HaShem Who Is All Giving Gave Too Much Light And HaShem Had To Withdraw Some Of That First Light And It Is Parts Of That First Light That HaShem Withdrew , That Comes Down To us Every Shabbos . The Holy Shabbos Of HaShem , Is The Day to leave all behind in the physical World and spend Quality Time With HaShem . In this Commandment of Keeping the Seventh Day Holy , is also included , Working For HaShem the other Six Days , to culminate in completing the week of and until Shabbos . The Levites of old , would count every day of the week toward Shabbos , for every day , is linked to Shabbos and so do we do likewise , every time that we say the Psalm of the day , starting it with ' This is .... Day of the Shabbos . ' If All The Jews would just keep two Shabboses in a row As HaShem Instructs The Holy Shabbos To Be Kept , Mashiach would come Immediately . Keeping Shabbos is so vital to Creation And The Holy Shabbos , HaShem Wants all Jews To Keep As HaShem Commands us To Keep The Holy Shabbos , for we also all Assured HaShem That we Would , On Har Sinai , As Well As All The Other Commandments Of HaShem And HaShem's Holy Torah . Shabbos Is Forever And So Is It's Observance For All Times , For Shabbos Is Above Time And So Must It's Observance , Instructed From HaShem , Be Always Kept From Generation To Generation - past , present in modern times and into the future , Just As HaShem Instructed It To Be Kept , As HaShem Instructed Moshe , With All It's 39 Melachos Forbidden Labours And All Its Tenets . Just as HaShem Gave His Fire Light In Creating Creation And Rested On Shabbos , so must we not Kindle on Shabbos . The matter of not kindling fire is specifically mentioned even though it is part of the 39 Melachos Forbidden Labours Of Shabbos . There are 39 Melachos Forbidden Labours On Shabbos just as the same 39 Labours in Constructing The Tabernacle And All That HaShem Had Instructed To have built then and so these 39 Forbidden Labours For Shabbos Must Be Kept . We know this due to the Fact that both Shabbos and the Construction of The Tabernacle are written along-side each other In The Holy Torah . So this particular forbidden labour was specifically mentioned , for this specific labour of kindling a fire , is within the energy of all actions that make up our physical workings when performing labour , for all we do is by the Life Soul Given To us By HaShem , Just Like His Kindling Fire And So On Shabbos , we must not use the Soul That HaShem Gives us , for anything That HaShem Forbids us , On This Holy Day ( and in fact , every day ) . We as a Jewish nation must " Vayakhel " - " Assemble " together as a nation For Davening To And Serving HaShem HaKadosh Baruch Hu HaShem Blessed Be He . Especially On The Holy Shabbos . For when we " Vayakhel " - " Assemble , " As the Parsha Says , " Es Kol Adas B'nei Yisrael , " - " The Entire Assembly of the Children of Israel , " we Open Up The Heavens And Receive The Sweetness Of HaShem's Holiness . For when we Jews " Vayakhel " - " Assemble " together , we can bring Moshiach and end our Galus Exile and all the pain that comes with it . Within the word " Vayakhel " - " Assemble , " is Moshiach , for its Gematriah is 6 + 10 + 100 + 5 + 30 = 151 and 1 + 5 + 1 = 7 , the same Gematrical value of the word ' Mashiach . ' The " Vayakhel " - " Assembly " " Kol Adas " Togetherness " of Jews , brings Mashiach , which is The Time that will end all the pain and suffering and Mageifim - Plagues and Diseases and Sicknesses and will bring us Back To The Path That we were headed on at the Beginning , When HaShem Made Creation And That First Shabbos Seventh Day , Which Was Going To Be Eternal And Forever , if only Chavah and Adam would have Obeyed HaShem , so let us all learn to Obey HaShem Whatever HaShem Commands . We thus learn here in this Parsha that " Vayakhel Eis Kol Adas B'nei Yisrael " - " Assembling the Entire Assembly of the Children of Israel , " will bring on The End Of Days Olam Habah and so , Shabbos Will Be Eternal And Within The Ever Loving Closeness Of HaShem HaKadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . And Then Will " Bereishis " - " In The Beginning " - " Creation , " Reach It's Final Stage And Enter Into The Eternal Shabbos . May It Come Soon In Our Days So That We Can All Be Close With HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . I wish Ever Most Forever Eternally Beloved HaShem With Sweetest And Deepest Forever Love , A Very Sweet And Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh And Chodesh Tov Adar II With Everlasting Deepest Love and to all of my fellow Jews and to all of Creation , A Very Beautiful And Healing By HaShem , Sweet Shabbos Kodesh And Chodesh Tov Adar II with love . May HaShem Heal Our World And All Those Within It . May HaShem Bring On The End Of Days Olam HaBah Bekarov In Our Days . Blessed Shabbos Kodesh And Chodesh Tov To HaShem With Eternal Love and Blessed Shabbos Kodesh and Chodesh Tov to all my fellow Jews and to all of Creation with love .
