Parashat Tsav presents the rites through which Aaron and his sons - the

priests - are inaugurated into service in the Tabernacle. The consecration

ceremony described in this parashah follows the arc of instructions laid

out originally in Exodus 29, but with several significant departures.

In Exodus (29:4, 9) the installation focuses on Moses, Aaron, and his

sons. In contrast, this week the Lord tells Moses to take Aaron and his

sons... "together with the whole communitywhole communitywhole communitywhole community at the entrance of the Tent of

Meeting" (Lev 8:3)" The washing and dressing of Aaron and his sons is

no longer a private ceremony, as originally instructed. Aaron and his sons

will be aware that they are serving on behalf of the people, and the

people aware that the consecration has been done at Divine

command. The community's involvement recalls Exodus 35, where

Moses assembled the community in order to emphasize the importance

of Shabbat and then the building of the Mishkan (Tabernacle). The

people who are to build a structure for kedusha (holiness), the

Tabernacle, must first embody holiness in their own practice

(Shabbat). Through their installation as priests, Aaron and his sons will

be able to serve as clei kodesh, holy functionaries, within that holy space.

Another change occurs at the conclusion of the ordination. In Exodus the

process ends with the purification of the altar. Everything that touches

the altar becomes holy ( Ex 29:37), apparently ,ָ�ל ַה�ֵֹגַע ַ�ִ ְזֵ�ַח יְִקָ��

including Aaron and his sons, portrayed almost as part of the furnishings

of the Tent of Meeting. Here in Tzav the consecration of Aaron and sons

concludes the ceremony, emphasizing the importance of the human role

in the divine service. But with authority comes responsibility: ְ�ַמְרֶ�ם ֶאת�

(" וְ�א ָתמ�ת�' ִמְ�ֶמֶרת ה keep the Lord's charge, lest you die" 8:35), as will

be demonstrated, tragically, with Aaron's sons Nadav and Avihu next

week in Parashat Shemini.

The consecration service here shows that ordinary materials and indeed

people can be transformed into clei kodesh, instruments for serving God,

but there is danger inherent in this as well. The ceremony here has

brought both Aaron and his sons, now consecrated priests, closer to the

people and yet at the same time separated from them. The root K'D'SH,

"set aside," can indicate both holy (kadosh) and profane (kadesh/

a). Religious life has is not without tension. The leaders must be close to

the people and attentive to them, yet remain at the Tent of Meeting,

mindful of certain invisible lines which must not be crossed.

Leaders in today's world would do well to learn their charge from the ordination ceremony in Tsav. Coming too close to the people can diminish their status and their ability to serve as conduits to God. But pride and isolation can lead to corruption, as happened in the Temple over the course of our history. May all of our leaders be blessed with a strong sense of their own humility and a keen sensitivity to the humanity of those they serve.

Our Parasha belongs to the Kohanim (priests). We open with general instructions for sacrificing, and move on to the process of turning Aaron and his sons from ordinary Levites into Kohanim.

1) At the beginning of the Parasha we are instructed that the fire on the Mizbe'ach (alter) shall never be allowed to die out (6:5). What might be the reason for that? We had a similar discussion about the light inside the Tabernacle. Is there a connection?

2) A regular Mincha offering (made of grain and oil) that is given by people is partially burnt and the rest is eaten (6:7-11). Who is supposed to eat it? Why do you think that they should eat it rather than burn it all to God?

3) On the other hand, a Mincha offering given by Aaron and his sons on the day that they are anointed as Kohanim is different (6:12-16). What will be done with it? Why do you think that the Kohanim are not eating from it?

4) In 7:22-27 the Torah limits the parts of animals (even Kosher ones) that we may eat. What parts are 'off limits' to people for eating? What is the reason given for some of the prohibition (v.25)? What might be the reason for the prohibition against consuming blood?

5) Chapter 8 tells us about the ceremony to make Aaron and his sons Kohanim. How long does this period last? Where are Aaron and his sons during this time? Why do you think that they are instructed to stay there? (8:33-35)

On this (Sabbath, Festival, Judgment or Penitence) day we pray that they be spared further pain. May God grant them health of body and health of spirit and mind. May we speedily be privileged to greet their return to good health by welcoming them once again into our midst. Let us say: Amen.

Anyone wanting to add a name to the list should contact Diane Shalom (216-831-6555 ext. 104 or dianeshalom@bnaijeshurun.org) by Thursday afternoon at the latest for inclusion in that Shabbat’s program. We will also pause during the prayer for people to recite additional names from their seats.
