Our Parsha continues to speak about the building and service of the Mishkan. G-d tells Moshe that only the purest of olive oils can be used for the daily kindling of the Menorah. Hashem appoints Aaron and his sons to serve as Kohanim in the Mishkan on behalf of the Jewish people. During their service, the Kohanim must wear the four special Priestly garments, Michnasayim-underpants, Ketones-a large tunic, Avnet-a sash, and Mitznefes-a turban. However, the High Priest would wear four extra garments during his service, the Me'ila, a blue sleeveless robe with the lower hem fringed with small golden bells and pomegranate shaped tassels. The Ephod, an embroidered vest with a gemstone on each shoulder, which the names of each tribe engraved upon it. The Choshen, a breastplate with twelve gemstones, each had engraved the name of one of the tribes. The Tzitz, a golden plate inscribed with the name of G-d, which was attached to his turban. We find out why the Torah seemingly repeats itself regarding the daily sacrifices. We learn unique ways of connecting with Hashem at different times. Happy Purim!!
