Parshat Tetzaveh - Aharon and Kiruv

This shiur is based on the writings of Rav Tzadok HaCohen.

This shiur is dedicated anonymously.

Parshat Tetzaveh is basically a listing of the various garments worn by the Cohanim and the Cohen Gadol.

Rav Tzadok asks three questions on Parshat Tetzaveh:
1. Why is Moshe's name missing from this parsha?
2. Why is the golden altar listed in this parsha, rather than in the previous parsha which dealt with all the other vessels of the Mishkan?
3. Why are there references to lighting the menorah at both the beginning and end of this parsha?

He explains that this is the parsha of Aharon. Aharon has the ability to bring out the Oral Torah in every Jew through his love for every Jew and his understanding of their soul and essence.

With this Rav Tzadok explains the unity of the parsha. He also connects it to the snake in the Garden of Eden, Amalek, and Eliyahu HaNavi on Mount Carmel.

I look forward to your comments.

Here is the audio shiur (and the pdf sheets to download if you want).

Your feedback is welcome and appreciated. I would love to continue giving a shiur to this group on a weekly basis, but to do that I would need some kind of sponsorship. If anyone is interested in sponsoring a shiur (either l'ilui nishmat someone, or just for no reason) please contact me.
