Parashat Tetzaveh provides us with complete instructions for fashioning the garments of the Kohen Gadol, a challenge successfully taken up by the Temple Institute.

This coming Shabbat we read parashat Zachor - the commandment to remember Amalek and to blot out his memory forever! This is a challenge that Israel is fully engaged in today.

Our sages teach us that once Amalek had been obliterated, the next check on our list is building the Holy Temple.
