How do you feel about yesterday? Are you being held back by what was? At dawn, a single kohen - priest - is chosen to remove from the altar an amount of ashes and places them at the base of the altar, a procedure known as trumat hadeshen - the lifting up of the ashes and their removal to a pure place. Literally, yesterdays ashes. Torah is teaching us, through the Temple service, how to deal with our yesterdays. Tzav (Leviticus 6:1-8:36) Parashat Tzav is read on Shabbat HaGadol: Nissan 10, 5769/April 4, 2009 http://www.templeinstitute.org/
