➡️ Tuvia and Yitzi talk Parsha; Emor  

Our parsha devotes individual paragraphs for each Chag, but when it comes to Shavuot, instead of focusing on the one day chag on the 6th day of Sivan, the Torah describes a chag that starts "After the Shabbat" (after the first day of Pesach) and contiues and develops for 49 days.  

Is Shavuout actually a 7 week long Chag?  

Why is it defined by being "After the Shbbat" and not by its date?

This week the Parsha begins with one of our biggest mission statement as a nation - Be Holy! 

When we think about holly people, we usually think of people that are very spiritual, people that are disconnected from this world.  But actually, looking when we read our Parsha, the Mitzvot that the Torah brings after the opening statement of "Be Holy", are the exact opposite. They're the more social, materialistic and even technical Mitzvot. 

Why are these the Mitzvot the Torah teaches us now?  

How do these Mitzvot lead us to being holy??

This week we read about Tzara'at - the part physical, part spiritual disease. Within Tzara'at, there's also the Tzara'at of the home - Tzara'at Habayt. Interestingly, the Torah starts the passage about Tzara'at Habayt with the very positive words of "When you will come to the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, I will give you..." - and one has to ask - why does the Torah use words that sound like a blessing?? 

What's so positive about Tzara'at of the home??  

And how does it actually teach us an important message for Yom Ha'atzmaut?

After months of work and 7 days of preparation, Am Yisrael finally reach the peak moment of the inauguration of the Mishkan. Just at that moment, suddenly a major tragedy occurs and Moshe responds with a very unexpected statement -  "This is what G-d had (already) said: through those close to me I will be sanctified".

Rashi explains that Moshe is telling Aharon, "I knew this would happen, but I thought it would be me or you, now I see they are greater then us".

And how does this connect to Aharon's response of silence?

Am Yisrael reach a great elevating moment after crossing the seas and breaks out into song. The midrash describes this moment as being so great that the simple maid saw a greater vision than Yechezkel the prophet. 

We know the famous pesukim that describe in detail the great G-dly images Yechezkel sees, so why is there no such description here, if here they saw something greater?? 

What did they actually see there at the sea??

The night before Am Yisrael left Egypt, they sat down for the first Seder.  Although they were told to not leave their homes until morning, they were commanded to eat the Pesach sacrafice in a haste. בחפזון. 

Why?  Why eat in a rush when they have all night?? 

What's the value of rushing?  

And how is this related to this week's Parsha - Tzav?

This week we learn about a Godly covenant. We know of other covenants such as Bris Milah or Torah itself, but surprisingly this covenant is about SALT!  

Why is salt so important? Why is it so critical for every sacrifice?  

And on top of all, why is it defined with such a unique term "מלח ברית אלוהיך"...?? 

Sefer Shmot ends with Moshe putting the Mishkan together, and the Torah describes the Shechina coming down into the Mishkan. 

This would be a fitting end for Sefer Shmot, but for some reason the Torah continues with 3 more Psukim, describing how the Cloud was used to guide Am Israel in the desert, telling them when to leave & travel, and when to stop and park.  

Why does the Torah tells us this now?? 

Why is this the peak of building the Mishkan - and the last Psukim of Sefer Shmot??

➡️   Tuvia and Yitzi talk Parsha; Ki Tissa  

When we think of Matan Torah we often picture Moshe receiving the miraculous Luchot and bringing them down to Am Yisrael.  

But the truth is, Moshe didn't actually receive the Luchot on Matan Torah. And even more so, those Luchot ended up being shattered by Moshe in to pieces at the bottom of the mountain.  

However, when we seek to find a description of the time when we really received the Luchot, we can barely find a description of what should have been a dramatic moment, when Moshe finally brings us the Luchot, the ones, that this time, actually stayed with us for generations.  

So when was the real Matan Torah? Why is this dramatic moment so undramatically described?

➡️   Tuvia and Yitzi talk Parsha; Tetzaveh & Purim  

In this week's Parsha, the Torah puts much emphasis on the clothes the Kohanim wore in the Mishkan & Mikdash.  

Why does it matter so much what the Kohanim wore?? Aren't we always told not to judge a book by its cover?  

And if the clothes are important, so why on Purim, the holiday in which we're supposed to reveal our inner selves, we dress up in silly costumes??
