Why does the Torah devote precious scriptural real estate to detailing the priestly garments, the special outfits the ancient priests had to wear when officiating in the Tabernacle, and how are these passages relevant today? In his Shabbat message for Parashat Tetzaveh (February 12, 2022), Rabbi Knopf explains that these obscure passage offer a profound message about how we care for one another, a teaching that is particularly important as states like Virginia move to end COVID-19 restrictions in the midst of the still-ongoing pandemic. Temple Beth-El is committed to leading people into growing relationships with Jewish community, wisdom, and practice that help them thrive intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually and that inspire them to build a more compassionate, just, and peaceful world.
