Parsha for Kids

S3E2 Tzav 2023

Listen Later

In this week's parsha, Tzav, we focus on a variety of laws pertaining to the Kohanim and the Mishkan. Some were only practiced when we had a Mishkan or Beit Hamikdash, but others persist until today! These laws include:

  • A focus on keeping kohanim humble by having them perform the Terumat HaDeshen, removing a shovelful of ashes from the Mizbeach
  • The Minchas Chinuch korban that must be offered before a kohen can begin his service in the Mishkan
  • The Korban Todah, where we thank God for having rescued us from a dangerous situation. Even today people still make a Seudat Hodaah in order to thank God for something like this!
  • The law not to eat the blood of an animal or bird, which is still an important rule in keeping kosher today.

    • We end this parsha with a sense of excitement, waiting for the 8th day of the Miluim to arrive- inauguration day/ dedication day for the Mishkan to be used for real!
