Tzav | Leviticus 6:1 – 8:26

Shabbat Shalom 

Portion Tzav describes the sacrifices performed in the Tabernacle. Shmuel connects this portion to Psalm 107, a psalm of thanksgiving. As Shmuel said, this Psalm is essentially “…recognition of the fact that God is good”. Thankfulness, matzah, and sacrifice all come together in this week’s episode.
