Shnayim Yomi - Tzav - Sh'vi'i - #7 - Rabbi Yehoshua Sova - Looking Inward to Move Forward

In the seventh aliyah we find that a kohen gadol would need to have perisha. He needs to be separated for at least seven days prior to the commencement of him starting the avodah. The question is, why seven days? The simple answer one could say is seven days represents a week. When a person is able to be by themself for an entire week, that means every single day the person person was able to ponder, what did I do this day that I could have done better? What is it that I did this day that I could do better? And if a person thinks to themself how it is they can make the world a better place, then they're ready to serve Hashem. So we were thinking that's why the kohen gadol needed the seven days for him to be able to sit and reflect and recalibrate himself to be able to say, what can I do for the next time, the next day of this upcoming week that will make it a better day and hopefully a better life for myself as well. This is a very powerful lesson for every single one of us also.
