Rabbi Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Parsha Tetzaveh 5781

welcome to this week's torah lesson this week's torah portion is partial statsava the question of the week is what is the main purpose of the temple so in this week's torah portion parasha satsava the torah begins about the service in the temple with the lighting of the candles most of the toro portion speaks about the priests and their garments and the end of the torah portion speaks again about lighting the candles and about the special incense offerings that were brought in the temple so the question is asked if the whole torah portion is about aaron and the priests and his garments why did they put in the beginning about the candles and the end about the candles and about the turret so the ruby explains something very interesting says like this what is the last thing in this week's torah portions about the turret why is the last because we know there's a rule ahren akhra whatever is last is most beloved because hashem wanted to give us a strong statement about what the temple was we know what's the purpose of the tourists bringing the incense so it's brought down the zoa it says qatar no with the purpose of the terrorists was that we become unified one with hashem the menorah what does the miner resemble the miner resembles bringing light into the world so to answer the question what's the main purpose of the temple the main purpose of the temple is for us to becoming one with hashem and taking that oneness and sharing that light with the world this week's torah lessons dedicated to the memory of barack obama may their souls be elevated by the torah we're studying in their memory thanks so much for joining us for our weekly torah lesson for more information please see our website chabadswf.org have a great and blessed week
