After the descriptions of the priestly vestments, the Torah discusses the inauguration ceremony for the priests. Aaron and his sons are instructed to place their hands on various sacrifices and to be anointed with special oil. Moses is also instructed to\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Slaughter the ram, and take some of its blood and put it on the lobe<\/span> of Aaron\u2019s right ear and on the ridges of his sons\u2019 right ears, and on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet; and dash the rest of the blood against every side of the altar roundabout\u201d (verse 20).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Why is the blood sprinkled on these specific extremities?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

One possibility is that the ritual links the altar with the priests. Moses is also commanded to sprinkle blood on the horns of the altar and the sides. The priests, who are primarily responsible for the sacrificial rites also have blood sprinkled on their extremities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Another answer is that the three sprinklings match three different commandments to the priests. One that they listen to God (ear), two is that they perform the proper sacrificial rites (thumb) and finally that they walk in the way of God (toe). Yet another possibility is to emphasize that the priests are still human beings despite their involvement in the sacrificial rites, which are bloody and almost animalistic. Humans are unique with their cognitive abilities (ear), they have opposable thumbs (thumb) and they are bi-peds (big toe).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The three body parts also represent three sections of the body- the head, the trunk, and the legs. The priests then are being purified throughout their bodies and are reminded that their entire body now belongs to the service in the mishkan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

So why is it that Aaron is deemed more suitable for the priestly role than his brother?\u00a0Much of this week\u2019s portion catalogs the priestly vestments.\u00a0 Why so much focus on externals: the outer garb rather than the inner qualities?\u00a0 Sefer Hachinuch <\/em>(99), a medieval listing of the 613 commandments and which verses in the Torah elicit them, says that the command of wearing priestly clothes is from the verse, \u201cthey shall make sacred vestments\u201d (28:4).\u00a0The rationale given is that \u201ca person is impacted according to his thoughts and intentions, and the one who acts as agent for atonement [i.e., the priest] must attach all his thoughts and intentions to divine service, therefore he wears special clothes for it.\u201d The explanation continues that seeing these special garments will better give the priest the \u201carousal in his heart\u201d that will enable him to think of God.\u00a0In other words, the garments are a costume which enables the priest to properly assume his role in the drama of atonement.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

A rabbi recently told me a story of his asking an older rabbi for advice when he was first beginning his career.\u00a0 He asked his mentor how it was that an experienced rabbi could possibly transition between officiating at a joyous event like a wedding or a brit milah<\/em>, and later that same day, bury a person or make a shiva <\/em>call. The older rabbi told his younger colleague, \u201cYou have to be a good actor.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

The younger rabbi had not expected it, and yet there is truth that we all need to play roles at times, just as the priest is carefully costumed for his role as atoner for the people.\u00a0Perhaps Moses, who we know to be the \u201cmost humble of all men\u201d (Numbers 12:3) felt himself unable to play a role, unable to do something not purely in his emotional range.\u00a0I think of Moses as like Cordelia in Shakespeare's\u00a0King Lear<\/em> who was unable to \u201cheave my heart into my mouth\u201d (i.i.92-93).\u00a0Both were unwilling to dissemble whether it accrued to their benefit or not.\u00a0Aaron, who we know as a \"pursuer of peace\" (Pirkei Avot 1:12). was someone more willing to play a role, to compromise and do what is necessary to atone for others and to bring them together.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Aaron was capable of dressing himself in the physical garments of the priest and playing that role where Moses is absent from the drama of the priesthood, its vestments and preparations for its service that Tetzaveh<\/em> discusses.\u00a0 Moses humility enables him to absent himself so that the most suitable one for the role, his brother Aaron, can perform it best.<\/p>","post_main_content_image":{"id":56407,"alt":"","title":"jud19-beham-hans-sebald-moses-aaron","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud19-beham-hans-sebald-moses-aaron.jpg","width":800,"height":563,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud19-beham-hans-sebald-moses-aaron-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud19-beham-hans-sebald-moses-aaron-300x211.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":211,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud19-beham-hans-sebald-moses-aaron-768x540.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":540,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud19-beham-hans-sebald-moses-aaron.jpg","large-width":800,"large-height":563,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud19-beham-hans-sebald-moses-aaron.jpg","1536x1536-width":800,"1536x1536-height":563,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud19-beham-hans-sebald-moses-aaron.jpg","2048x2048-width":800,"2048x2048-height":563,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud19-beham-hans-sebald-moses-aaron.jpg","post_full_size-width":800,"post_full_size-height":563,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud19-beham-hans-sebald-moses-aaron-597x420.jpg","home_baner-width":597,"home_baner-height":420}},"post_main_content_embedded_video":"","post_main_content_video_duration":"","post_main_content_show_fb_comments":"1","post_main_content_credit_media":"","tile_top_caption":"Parashat

To what extent do our leaders belong to us, and what part of their lives is their own? A clue is provided in our chapter, and mirrored in Leviticus 8.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In Exodus 29:1, Moses is told about a time in the future when he will consecrate his brother Aaron and Aaron\u2019s sons. He is told to take a list of ritual objects and then to bring Aaron forward: \"ve-et Aharon ubanav takriv<\/em>.\" The verb used here, takriv<\/em>, means \"bring closer\" but is also the same one used as for offerings, as though Aaron and his sons are being offered by Moses. In Leviticus, when this ritual is carried out, the point is even sharper: in 8:1, Moses is told to take a whole list: Aaron, his sons, their clothing, the oil, the animals\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Reading Exodus 29, it is clear that Moses is the actor and Aaron and sons, the new Cohanim<\/em> (priests) are the objects, just one of many new vessels of the Temple. Moses washes them, clothes them, pours oil on them. Eventually, he sprinkles the blood of the sacrifices on them. Perhaps this can serve as a warning to potential future leaders: many may seek power, but it is only suited to those who are willing to give up something of themselves to become public property.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In fact, the only active action the new Cohanim take in this chapter is to put their hands on the heads of the sacrificial animals, symbolizing a transfer of personal sin to the animal. This might even sharpen our point: our Cohanim must assume the downsides of being public property, but like others, they still have personal sins. When we reach Leviticus 10, this tragic dichotomy will be heightened by the tale of the deaths of Nadav and Avihu. Even outside that story, it reminds us all who would aspire to high office: as a public figure, you must be prepared to surrender some autonomy in order to become a vessel of the community.<\/span><\/p>","post_main_content_image":{"id":54934,"alt":"","title":"jud1-leadership","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/png","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud1-leadership.png","width":1280,"height":812,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud1-leadership-150x150.png","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud1-leadership-300x190.png","medium-width":300,"medium-height":190,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud1-leadership-768x487.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":487,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud1-leadership-1024x650.png","large-width":1024,"large-height":650,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud1-leadership.png","1536x1536-width":1280,"1536x1536-height":812,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud1-leadership.png","2048x2048-width":1280,"2048x2048-height":812,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud1-leadership-1200x761.png","post_full_size-width":1200,"post_full_size-height":761,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud1-leadership-662x420.png","home_baner-width":662,"home_baner-height":420}},"post_main_content_embedded_video":"","post_main_content_video_duration":"","post_main_content_show_fb_comments":"1","post_main_content_credit_media":"","tile_top_caption":"","tile_main_caption":"The

Exodus 29 is one of those chapters that reminds us just how <\/span>bizarre<\/span><\/em> the Tanakh is, and maybe makes us ask if it isn\u2019t sometimes <\/span>too<\/span><\/i> bizarre to have anything to say to us. Speaking personally, I <\/span>want<\/span><\/em> this chapter to say something, because of the way the gory details are framed:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This is what you shall do to them to make them holy, to serve Me\u2026There I will meet with the Israelites, and it shall be sanctified by My Presence... I will abide among the Israelites, and I will be their God.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

If there\u2019s something I can learn from this chapter about how to turn my life into a Tent of Meeting and my actions into service of God, I want to know it. The consecration of the priests is about me, and you too, because we were commanded to be \u201ca kingdom of priests and a holy nation\u201d (Ex. 19:6).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When I look at the chapter, within the frame, I immediately notice the repetition of the root k-d-sh<\/em>, \u201choly,\u201d is intertwined throughout the chapter with the most concrete details of the ceremony. The two seem inseparable, as if the only way to achieve holiness is by going deeper into the nitty-gritty of the world around us.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The chapter opens with \u201cThis is what you shall <\/span>do<\/span><\/em> to them,\u201d as opposed to the usual \u201cThis is what you shall <\/span>say<\/span><\/em>\u2026\u201d The lesson is in the actions, not the words. What actions might you do differently if you thought of them as teaching a lesson?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In verse 3 the priests are commanded to put all the various offerings into a single basket. What are our offerings today? We might be tempted to think only of specifically \u201creligious\u201d practices, but this verse tells me not to compartmentalize my life but rather to put everything \u201cin one basket,\u201d to turn everything I do into an offering. Since some of the offerings described here are the priests\u2019 daily food, I ask, what would it look like to eat in a way that was itself an offering? What kind of food would I buy? Where would it come from? How would I put it on the table and in my mouth? Personally, I find myself too often eating while doing something else, a habit I\u2019m trying hard to break, not only for myself but to show my children that eating can be a kind of service to God, and we shouldn\u2019t multitask it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

And lastly, I might ask myself, what is so bizarre in my life that I might be tempted to dismiss but in fact has something to teach me?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Answering questions such as these can help bring holiness and service into your life.<\/span><\/p>","post_main_content_image":{"id":51690,"alt":"","title":"dt26-cornucopia","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dt26-cornucopia.jpg","width":1600,"height":1200,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dt26-cornucopia-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dt26-cornucopia-300x225.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":225,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dt26-cornucopia-768x576.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":576,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dt26-cornucopia-1024x768.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":768,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dt26-cornucopia.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1152,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dt26-cornucopia.jpg","2048x2048-width":1600,"2048x2048-height":1200,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dt26-cornucopia-1200x900.jpg","post_full_size-width":1200,"post_full_size-height":900,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dt26-cornucopia-560x420.jpg","home_baner-width":560,"home_baner-height":420}},"post_main_content_embedded_video":"","post_main_content_video_duration":"","post_main_content_show_fb_comments":"1","post_main_content_credit_media":"","tile_top_caption":"","tile_main_caption":"Making

This chapter details the ceremony during which Aaron and his sons were invested in their <\/span>kehunah<\/span><\/em> (priesthood).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Our first observation is on the appropriateness of the term investiture for this ceremony. Derived from the Latin <\/span>in<\/span><\/i> vestire<\/span><\/i>, to clothe, it signifies the formal dressing (also called robing) of an official prior to the assumption of prescribed duties.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

On one occasion, I was seeking admission to the library at Oxford University and arrived at the office of the Registrar as he was locking up. When I explained that this was my only opportunity to view a particular manuscript, he graciously reopened the office. However, prior to placing his seal on my pass, he removed his overcoat and put on his gown. I felt that I had gained insight into the Talmud\u2019s declaration that <\/span>kohanim<\/span><\/i> (priests) could not serve if they were not\u2014so to speak\u2014in uniform.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A second observation concerns God\u2019s instruction to Moses to \u201cfill Aaron\u2019s hands and the hands of his sons\u201d (verse 9). This unusual expression led Rashi to speculate on its origin and offer the following parallel. He explained (28:41):<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In French, when a ruler appoints someone to a position, he places a leather glove on his hand\u2014called <\/span>gant<\/span><\/i> in French (as in \u201cto throw down the gauntlet\u201d)\u2014by which means he tenures him in that matter. This placement is called <\/span>revestir<\/span><\/i> (as in \u201cvestments\u201d and \u201cinvestiture\u201d) and that is filling the hands.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

To Rashi, even the customs of the French royal court provide insight in his attempt to make sense of the Torah.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The ancient Hebrew word for hard work is <\/span>avodah<\/span><\/em>. It is also the word that means \u201cserving God\u201d. <\/span>What applies in the arts, sciences, business and industry, applies equally to the life of the spirit<\/span><\/em>.<\/em> Achieving any form of spiritual growth requires sustained effort and daily rituals.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Hence the remarkable aggadic passage in which various sages put forward their idea of <\/span>klal gadol ba-Torah<\/span><\/em>, \u201cthe great principle of the Torah\u201d. Ben Azzai says it is the verse, \u201cThis is the book of the chronicles of man: On the day that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God\u201d (Gen. 5:1). Ben Zoma says that there is a more embracing principle, \u201cListen, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.\u201d Ben Nannas says there is a yet more embracing principle: \u201cLove your neighbour as yourself.\u201d Ben Pazzi says we find a more embracing principle still. He quotes a verse from this week\u2019s parsha: \u201cOne sheep shall be offered in the morning, and a second in the afternoon\u201d (Ex. 29:39) \u2013 or, as we might say nowadays, Shacharit, Mincha and Maariv. In a word: \u201croutine\u201d. The passage concludes: The law follows Ben Pazzi.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The meaning of Ben Pazzi\u2019s statement is clear: all the high ideals in the world \u2013 the human person as God\u2019s image, belief in God\u2019s unity, and the love of neighbour \u2013 count for little until they are turned into habits of action that become habits of the heart. We can all recall moments of insight when we had a great idea, a transformative thought, the glimpse of a project that could change our lives. A day, a week or a year later the thought has been forgotten or become a distant memory, at best a might-have-been.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The people who change the world, whether in small or epic ways, are those who turn peak experiences into daily routines, who know that the details matter, and who have developed the discipline of hard work, sustained over time.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Judaism\u2019s greatness is that it takes high ideals and exalted visions \u2013 image of God, faith in God, love of neighbour \u2013 and turns them into patterns of behaviour. Halakhah, (Jewish law), involves a set of routines that \u2013 like those of the great creative minds \u2013 reconfigures the brain, giving discipline to our lives and changing the way we feel, think and act.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

  2. Ram of ordination (<\/span>eil hamiluim<\/span><\/em>) - Not every sacrifice gets its own name. So take note of those that do.<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  3. The laying on of hands. One of the interesting actions involved in the bringing of the sacrifice (which appears in some but not all other types of sacrifices) is the laying on of the hands of the one who brings the sacrifice on the head of the sacrifice.
