Parashat Zachor

Torah Mitzion:

Parashat Zachor

“Remember what Amalek did to you on the way, after you left Egypt… you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven; do not forget."

Parashat Tetzave:

"Kindle the lamp in the Tent of Meeting"

Hashem has no need for illumination, the mitzvah is solely for the honor and needs of Israel - and it also contains symbolism for daily life.

Parashat Lech Lecha:

The deafening disconnect - and Parashat Zachor

Tens of thousands lined the roads in collective mourning for the Bibas family, displaying unparalleled national solidarity—except for the conspicuous absence of one large group.

Torah Mitzion-Parashat Tetsave:

For dignity and splendor - whose?

The reason offered here for the High Priest's special garments connects with an added dvar Torah about choosing a king before erasing Amalek.
