Tzetl: Shabbos Tzav & HaGadol

6:10pm - Early candle lighting
7:03pm - Candle Lighting, Friday
7:59pm - Havdalah, Saturday
(Melbourne Australia)
Eruv Status: TBA cosv.org.au/eruv/
Good Shabbos!


The Shabbat before Passover is termed Shabbat HaGadol ("The Great Shabbat") in commemoration of the "great miracle" that happened in Egypt on this day, heralding the Exodus from Egypt five days later (see "Today in Jewish Hstory"). Shabbat HaGadol customs include reading a portion of the Haggadah (from "Avadim hayinu..." to "...al kol avonotainu"), which tells the story of the Exodus; it is also customary that the rabbi of the community delivers a lecture in which he elaborates on the laws of Passover and their significance, in preparation for the festival.




PARSHAH IN A NUTSHELL
The name of the Parshah, "Tzav," means "command" and it is found in Leviticus 6:2.

G‑d instructs Moses to command Aaron and his sons regarding their duties and rights as kohanim ("priests") who offer the korbanot (animal and meal offerings) in the Sanctuary.

The fire on the altar must be kept burning at all times. In it are burned the wholly consumed ascending offering; veins of fat from the peace, sin and guilt offerings; and the "handful" separated from the meal offering.

The kohanim eat the meat of the sin and guilt offerings, and the remainder of the meal offering. The peace offering is eaten by the one who brought it, except for specified portions given to the kohen. The holy meat of the offerings must be eaten by ritually pure persons, in their designated holy place and within their specified time.

Aaron and his sons remain within the Sanctuary compound for seven days, during which Moses initiates them into the priesthood.


HAFTORAH IN A NUTSHELL
Jeremiah 7:21-28; 9:22-23
This week's haftorah touches on the subject of sacrifices, the main topic of the week's Torah portion.

G‑d tells the prophet Jeremiah to rebuke the Jewish people, saying that His primary intention in taking their forefathers out of Egypt wasn't the sacrificial offerings, rather in order that they observe the commandments. But despite the fact that G‑d repeatedly dispatched prophets to admonish the people, "They did not obey nor did they incline their ear, but walked according to [their] own counsels and in the view of their evil heart, and they went backwards and not forwards." G‑d further informs Jeremiah that the people will also not hearken to these words that he will speak to them now.

The haftorah concludes with G‑d's admonition: "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom, nor the strong man boast of his strength, nor the rich man boast of his riches. But let him that boasts exult in this, that he understands and knows me, for I am G‑d Who practices kindness, justice and righteousness on the earth; for in these things I delight, says G‑d."

True Freedom Means Caring for Each Other

View this email in your browser

Dear Friends,

This Pesach, we speak of freedom — but for many in our community, freedom feels out of reach.

With interest rates climbing, petrol prices surging, and the cost of living rising across the board, more families are being pushed to breaking point. For them, putting food on the table — let alone preparing for Pesach — has become a real struggle.

Freedom isn't just a story we tell. It's something we must help create.

As a community, we have a responsibility to look out for one another — especially now, when the need is greater than ever.

Your donation this Pesach can provide urgent relief, restore dignity, and ensure every family can celebrate with security and hope.

True freedom - and true community - mean showing up for each other.

 

DONATE NOW

Wishing you and your loved ones a Pesach Kasher Ve'Sameach!

Chag Sameach,

Rob Alden
Chief Executive Officer
