Description

Excerpt from Parshat Tzav

Leviticus Ch 8 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the sin offering bull, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread, and assemble the entire community at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.” Moses did as the Lord had commanded him, and the community assembled at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. For further reading on Parshat Tzav You can learn much more about all the Torah Parshot at the excellent and extensive Chabad site here. And here you can see my other Biblical artwork from the Book of Leviticus. The colours in this print of Parshat Tzav will probably look a bit different in the actual print than on your screen, but the print will be as faithful as possible to the original artwork. Your print will be made specifically for you once you’ve placed your order.

Parshat Tzav - (from 27 March 2026)

The following recap of Parshat Tzav is by Jonathan Greenwald, whose Miami-based foundation is an empowering and inspiring resource for Jewish resilience and good works generally!

Parshat Tzav continues the discussion of the Korbanot, but with a critical shift.
Last week: Vayikra “And He called.” An invitation.

This week:

צַו אֶת־אַהֲרֹן וְאֶת־בָּנָיו לֵאמֹר

“Command Aaron and his sons, saying…” (Leviticus 6:2)

This is no longer a suggestion.

This is a command.
And at its center, the Eternal Flame:

אֵשׁ תָּמִיד תּוּקַד עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ לֹא תִכְבֶּה

“A continual fire shall burn upon the altar; it shall not go out.” (Leviticus 6:6)

Not when convenient.
Not when conditions are ideal.
Always.

Lessons for Our Times

Last week, we asked: What are we willing to give?
This week, the question changes:
What are we commanded to do?
Because there is a difference between choice and obligation.

A voluntary sacrifice is meaningful.
A commanded responsibility is binding.
We are no longer in a moment of optional engagement.

We are living in a moment of Tzav.
This is not a moment to observe history. It is a moment to answer it.

There are those today who do not have the luxury of choice:
• Soldiers who must fight
• Families who must endure
• A nation that must defend itself
They act not from preference, but from duty.

So the question is no longer:
What are we willing to give?

But:
What is required of us?
To stand firm when it is uncomfortable.
To speak when it is unpopular.
To support when it is costly.

Because evil does not wait for consensus.
It advances where clarity is absent.

The Eternal Flame was not symbolic alone.
It was discipline.
It was responsibility.
It was constant.

And today, that flame lives on:
• In resilience
• In clarity
• In moral courage

Message of Hope

The Jewish people have never survived by accident.
We endure because, in every generation, we understand the difference between being called and being commanded.

A call can be ignored.

A command cannot.

This is a moment of Tzav.
The fire must not go out.
Not our unity.
Not our clarity.
Not our resolve.

Just as the flame on the altar burned continuously, so too must our commitment remain steady, unwavering, unextinguished.

If we do not keep the fire burning, we should not be surprised when darkness fills the space we left behind.

May the One who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob bless and protect all those who stand guard in defense of life and freedom.
