Parshat Tzav, (Leviticus 8:22-8:29), 3/14/14

So often we do things for ourselves. I see here and in other parshahs that these men are selflessly doing things for their people. In these investiture offerings they are establishing leaders for their temple. Over and over again for seven days. 

“And out of the basket of unleavened bread that was before the Lord, he took one loaf of unleavened bread, and one loaf of oily bread, and one wafer, and he placed them on top of the fats and the right thigh.”

The real work here is living the Torah. Their passion and their focus is on the rituals. Today we cut a ribbon to designate a new building. Their offerings suggest a new day.
