Parsha: Tetzaveh - On His Majesty's Service
About this episode
Performing service in the Tabernacle was the domain of the cherished few only. Only Aaron, his four sons, and their subsequent children were eligible. Why couldn't everyone serve as a priest? That's a question for modern egalitarian sensibilities, and it's truthfully one that we are averse to asking. After all, this was the question that Moshe's cousin Korach posed, and we know what happened to him. But why, truthfully, were Aaron and his family alone selected? In this fascinating parsha podcast, we explore many different elements of the Tabernacle, and especially the Golden Altar used exclusively for incense. The secret that we discover reveals the essence of priesthood. The golden crown of the priesthood is quite desirable, and there's a very specific way for each of us to have a crack at it.
