Tetzaveh - Zachor - 2020

Chevre, this week’s parsha is תְּצַוֶּה (Tetzaveh) and Parshat Zachor. Zachor is when we remember what Amalek did to us and we read this every year before Purim. The parsha goes through the priestly vestments (clothes) and then through the inauguration ritual of the Mishkan. The parsha finishes with the daily offerings. What struck me as from this parsha in the wake of the latest global news is the idea that the whole Nation of Israel was together, but had very little interaction with the outside world.
