Parashat Tetzaveh - Weekly Torah Portion

Parashat Tetzaveh - Weekly Torah Portion

Parashat Tetzaveh centers on the instructions for lighting the menorah, the details of the Kohanim’s (priests’) distinctive garments, and the rituals of their consecration. The parasha describes the intricate making of priestly vestments, including the ephod, breastplate, robe, and turban, and the process for ordaining Aaron and his sons for religious service. It concludes with the directions for the korban tamid (daily offerings), the golden incense altar, and the special haftarah reading about Amalek in Deuteronomy. This study plan breaks these sections into seven daily readings, each focusing on one Aliyah while following the natural structure of the text.
