Tetzave: Finding Holiness in the Ordinary
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I explore Parshat Tetzave and what it means that the Kohen is clothed before he serves. The Torah details every thread, every stone, every garment, and through it, teaches us something about dignity, identity, and spiritual agency.
I speak about 7 Adar and Moshe Rabbeinu as the archetype of redemption within us. I reflect on Amalek as the voice of doubt that weakens us from the inside, and on the teaching that we are no longer meant to serve G-d from being crushed, but from abundance.
Tetzave invites us to reconsider our relationship with clothing, food, and the ordinary rhythms of life. Holiness is not only found in elevated spaces, it waits for us in the mundane.
