This week, the parsha has two portions – parshas Tetzaveh and parshas Zachor. Parshas Tetzaveh discusses the ritual and construction of the Tabernacle and, more specifically, the Cohen Gadol's clothing, while parshat Zachor focuses on remembering Amalek. This nation opposed G-d's will. In this short Dvar Torah, we explore why Amalek is so bad. The Haftorah then recounts the story of Shaul Hamelech, who was instructed to battle against Amalek but failed in his mission when he spared a part of their nation. His mistake was ultimately deemed an act of rebellion, given that G-d had clearly stated they must be eliminated. Finally, we explore the message of determination to eradicate evil. Amalek represents real sinister motives and hatred of holiness, embodying Haman's essence in the Purim story. Let me know your thought on this vort. Good Shabbos!
