Tetzaveh/Zachor: Israel is a Fruitful Tree
(Video Clip)
In Parshas Tetzaveh, Moshe Rabeynu is commanded to collect the olive oil for the menorah. Midrash compares the People of Israel to the olive tree and its fruit because we illuminate the world. How can we offer our pure light to a tzaddik (spiritual leader) today? Speaker: Rabbi Nasan Maimon.
Taanis Esther is Thursday, 11th of Adar (March 9). The fast begins at Alos HaShachar (about 72 minutes before sunrise) and ends after nightfall. Hearing Parshos Zachor in shul this coming Shabbos will help us remember what we need to remember and forget what we need to forget.
Why are specific colors mentioned in the Megillah? In Likutey Halakhos, Rav Nasan explains how the techeles (sky blue) worn by Mordekhai hints at the tzitzis' power to protect.
