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.
