with Rabbi Jaclyn Cohen
Parashat Tzav | Leviticus 6:1-8:36
 Our parsha this week continues to outline the korbanot (sacrifices) that are to take place in the Temple. The parsha's title, Tzav, is an imperative - it means command, from the same Hebrew root as mitzvah. While last week's portion Vayikra was a specific list of instructions for the individual tasked with bringing the offering, this week's parsha is dedicated to the priest assisting with the offering; in other words, the layperson. This parsha outlines what they should do, how they should act, and what they must wear. In its specificity is a certain degree of holiness; one cannot approach any parsha in Leviticus without recognizing the sanctity of its amazingly detailed instructions.
