Tzav 5762 - March 22, 2002

Editor's Note:

Editor's Note
re: visions and challenges

This coming Sunday (March 24) is Nissan 11 on the Jewish calendar, and the centennial of the Lubavitcher Rebbe's birth. In The Eyes of a Child we attempted to convey something of the Rebbe's vision of reality -- a vision which his more than 3000 emissaries are enacting all over the world. For more on the Rebbe's unique perspective, see 52 Ideas; for an overview of his life and teachings, go to therebbe.org

There probably isn't a Jew in the world today who is not plagued by the news from the land of Israel. We pray, we worry, we agonize. What is it like to be a father of seven in a place where baby killers stalk the streets? Jay Litvin shares his War Dreams with us this week.

Chaim's Bar Mitzvah describes a challenge of a different sort, sharing the heartbreaking and heartwarming journey of two very special parents and their very special child.

In the weekly Parshah it's korbanot again, this time from a priestly perspective. And Tzvi Freeman assures us that Pharaoh was actually a sane person -- just monotheistically challenged.

Stay tuned for our Passover issue next week

The Eyes of a Child
By Yanki Tauber
We remember people, events, scenes and feelings from our childhood. But do we remember the self we were? The manner in which we perceived reality?
 Parshah
Tzav in a Nutshell
Leviticus 6:1–8:36
The fire on the altar must remain burning at all times. Moses instructs Aaron and his sons (the priests) which parts of which sacrifices they are to eat, and which must be burned entirely. The priests spend seven days inside the Tabernacle during which time they are initiated into their service.

 War Dreams
By Jay Litvin
Am I ready for the facts of life? Did I ever in my wildest dreams think I would be living through war? That I would be hunted for being a Jew?
 Parenting
Chaim's Bar Mitzvah
By Yossy Goldman
Chaim was born 13 years ago, a healthy child to healthy parents. Then one day, out of the blue, Chaim contracted a "virus" (funny, how when they don't know what it is, they call it a "virus"...)
 Seasons of the Soul
The Pharaoh Syndrome
By Tzvi Freeman
Pharaoh, you see, was actually quite intellectually capable; it was just that he was "Monotheistically Challenged"
Daily Quote
Daily Thought

Whoever studies the laws of the sin-offering, it is as though he were offering a sin-offering; and whoever studies the laws of the guilt-offering, it is as though he were offering a guilt-offering
— Talmud, Menachot 110a
