Parshas Tetzaveh - Shabbas Zachor
In this week’s Parsha Aron the Cohen Gadol (High Priest) was commanded regarding the clothing he must wear while performing the service in the Bais Hamikdash (Holy Temple). The command draws to a close with Moshe being told that if Aron wears the correct garments he will not die when he leaves. The basic understanding of this is that when he leaves the Temple he will not have been deserving of death because he followed the commandments correctly. The Chofetz Chaim learns something slightly different. When the time comes for us to leave this world there will be an evaluation as to how well we have followed the commandments that HaShem commanded us. If we have followed them appropriately than even when we leave this world we will not have died. Rather we will live on for all eternity drawing immense pleasure from being near HaShem. Let us all attempt to behave correctly and thereby earn our place near G-d for eternal life.
