Parshas Tzav – Shabbos HaGadol (5762)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

In the Medrash (10:6) of our parsha there is a Chazal that the attire of the Kohanim is atonement for sins equivalent to the sacrifices.  The message is that what we wear is an integral part of serving Hashem.  In every generation there is a form of dress that identifies us as Clal Yisroel, the nation of Torah observant Jews.  We should embrace that form of dress to identify ourselves with our loyalty to Hashem.

On Shabbos HaGadol we are recipients of great spiritual gifts.  In its week we are recipients of the most important date of the calendar for the acquisition of Emunah; the night of the seder and rest of Pesach.  The night of the seder and Pesach are our source of faith.

It is absolutely crucial to prepare during the next few days.
Study the Haggadah—Learn Chazal and Medrashim pertaining to Yetzias Mitzrayim—Get ample rest in order to utilize every moment of the night of the seder until dawn.

Have a wonderful Shabbos and we should be zocheh to see the Geulah Sh’layma Bikarov.

In the beginning of the parsha Rashi brings the Chazal explaining the terminology of Vayikra as an expression of love and admiration which is used by the “malachai hashores”.   Why was this parsha which deals with sacrifices designated for this lesson?  When bringing a sacrifice one must feel like one is giving his live.  Likewise one must exert all the efforts in positive communication in all circumstances.

Remember to start now to relate to yetzias mitzrayim reading Chazal and related material.  Have a wonderful Shabbos.

Parshas Vayakheil – Pekudei – Parshas HaChodesh (5762)

The situation here in Eretz Yisroel, and for that matter, worldwide, is frightening and stressful.  It demands of us to be inspired to sincerely connect ourselves with Hashem making sure that our ways are consistent with the will of Hashem.  It calls for an awakening which is not in line with the mentality of our times.  May we all have the strength.

Have a wonderful Shabbos, a good Chodesh, and may we see the yeshuos for the Clal and the Prat.

Parshas Ki Sisah – Parshas Para (5762)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

In our sedra we have the awesome episode of the “chet haegel”.  As part of the “clean up” process the commandment was given to consume a drink made up of the gold of the calf, pulverized and mixed with water.  There is an extremely enlightening explanation of this which can be a valuable tool for our service to Hashem; offered by the Ramban.  The gold of the eigel traveling through our digestive system is eventually eliminated in the form of the feces.  This creates a negative association.  This practice of repulsion is a valuable aid in keeping away from transgressions.

There is so much positive inspiration waiting for us if we can abstain from transgressions.  This is the concept of preparing for Pesach by the purification of the “para aduma”.

Have a wonderful, beautiful Shabbos.
