TETZAVEH Part 5

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT TETZAVEH by placing our attention upon the following passage found in TORAH, it is written, “I shall sanctify the Tent of Meeting and the Altar and Aaron and his sons shall I sanctify to minister to Me. I shall rest My Presence among the Children of Israel, and I shall be their God.” (Exodus 29:44,45) It is evident from this passage found in TORAH that those who have been chosen by HASHEM to MINISTER to HIM have a sphere of AUTHORITY that is influenced by their SERVICE.

HASHEM may be described as the CONSCIOUSNESS of ALL SENTIENT BEING. In other words, G-d is the ESSENCE of ALL EXISTENCE. Understanding this FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH aids in discerning what is implied by MINISTERING to HASHEM. Ministering to HASHEM is a SERVICE to the ESSENCE of one’s being. When serving in harmony with the INSTRUCTIONS given to the KOHANIM (PRIESTHOOD), the result is the VISIBLE MANIFESTATION of G-d’s PRESENCE. The VISIBLE MANIFESTATION of G-d’s PRESENCE is not a SPECTACLE, but rather gives rise to a constant state of IMPROVEMENT to the EXISTENCE within the SPHERE of AUTHORITY of those who MINISTER.

To become a recipient of the VISIBLE MANIFESTATION of the DIVINE PRESENCE, that is, the constant state of IMPROVEMENT, the following promise was given to our ABBA AVRAHAM, it is written “I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse…” (Genesis 12:3) In other words, to become a RECIPIENT of the VISIBLE MANIFESTATION of the DIVINE PRESENCE, one must occupy the SPHERE of AUTHORITY given to the KOHAN, and bless him by giving the SACRIFICES found in the INSTRUCTIONS given to the NAVI MOSHE.

Likewise, in a NEO HASSIDIC COMMUNITY, there is a REBBE that may be equaled to a KOHAN. The REBBE has been given INSTRUCTIONS that give rise to establishing the VISIBLE MANIFESTATION of DIVINE PRESENCE, which is termed PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS. To become a recipient of the PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS, one must be within the SPHERE of AUTHORITY of the REBBE, which are the community or COMMUNITIES that he has oversight. Then by sharing with the REBBE the MATERIAL things that one has, in harmony with the INSTRUCTIONS found in TORAH and not casting STUMBLING BLOCKS in the ADMINISTRATIONS THEREOF, one may become a recipient of ALL the POSSIBILITIES experienced in the CONSTANT STATE of IMPROVEMENT.
