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 .
