The second section of the Book of Leviticus is the continuation and completion of the preceding section, and opens as G‑d tells Moses to command (Tzav, in Hebrew) Aaron and his sons to follow the procedures for offering up sacrifices. The second half of the section describes the weeklong installation rites by which the priests and the Tabernacle were inaugurated.

Daily Quote
The day begins with Modeh Ani ("I acknowledge before You, living and eternal King, that You restored my soul to me; great is Your faithfulness"). This is said before the morning washing of the hands, even while the hands are ritually impure (and all other prayers cannot be said). The deeper reason for this is that all the impurities in the world do not defile a Jew's "I acknowledge" before G-d; he might lack one thing or another, but his Modeh Ani remains intact.
