Time to Prepare

 

This week's portion starts out saying "tell Aron and his sons"

 

And continues in a bit "I give them the Matzos of the Mincha (an offering in the Temple – of the desert and later in Israel

 

And it ends with Aron and his sons being Installed in the Tabernacle – and FOREVER

 

So what's the difference between Aron and his family – and the rest of the Jewish people

 

And why MATZOS ? Couldn't the Almighty just leave it at "Temple Bar-B-Ques go to the Priests?" They need MATZA?

 

Okay next week on Friday Night we celebrate the First Seder – Matza – means Freedom and Responsibility and Family and – Afikoman presents for the KIDS? (Parents are allowed to get themselves Afikoman presents too! And maybe SHOULD!)

 

In the 10 Commandments it says "Honor your Father and Mother –

 

And in the Shulchan Orach (Code of Jewish Law) it describes HOW.

 

But the Portion IS A TEACHING from the Almighty and Moses that

 

Aron and the kids should NOT LEAVE THE TENT OF HTHE MEETING for SEVEN DAYS

 

And eat in HOLINESS (not too many off-color jokes) – and THAT may be the connection for MATZAS here –

 

Since the Installation was JUST BEFORE PASSOVER

 

Which should be celebrated SEVEN days (however you can)

 

AND WITH THE FAMILY – at home or away

 

And may we all get ready for a GREAT AND HAPPY PASSOVER

 

Love and Shabbos from Israel
