Rabbi Mordechai Kamenetzky: Tetzaveh Case Clothed
Rabbi Kamenetzky considers the meaning of the clothes or badges that we wear. Despite the detailed instructions regarding the construction of the priestly garments, the purpose of the garments is fundamental.
Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, z’l: Tetzaveh Prophet and Priest
Rabbi Sacks considers the explanation for why Moses is not represented in this parashah. Rather than emphasize the absence, he observes that Tetzaveh focuses on the other presence that had a decisive influence on Judaism and Jewish history; namely, the Kohen. The priests were quieter than the prophets, yet they sustained Israel as a holy nation just as much.
