Parshat Tetzaveh/Zachor 5786 by Josh Rosenfeld

BHIs your olive giving oil?

Rabbi Gestetner. Parshat Tetzave (5786). The quiet servant by Mayanot

Part of Rabbi Baum's Shabbat Table Bootcamp Series

Welcome to the show. There are moments in history when leadership is not ceremonial — it is existential. When uncertainty spreads, when fear rises, and when moral clarity feels obscured, the question is no longer who speaks the loudest, but who carries the deepest responsibility. This week we turn to Parshat Tetzaveh — Leadership When the World Is Unsteady, a portion that speaks directly into such moments. Unlike narratives of plagues or revelation, Tetzaveh turns inward. It speaks of garments. Of oil. Of light. Of the Kohen Gadol, Aaron, clothed “for glory and for splendor.” Yet beneath the gold threads and precious stones lies something far more demanding: he must carry the names of the twelve tribes over his heart. Leadership, the Torah teaches, is not about prominence — it is about bearing people. Their pain. Their hope. Their dignity. Close to one's chest. The parsha opens with the command: וְאַתָּה תְּצַוֶּה — “And you shall command.” Moses' name does not appear in this entire portion, yet it begins by addressing him directly. The message is profound. True leadership does not require the spotlight. The greatest leaders are sometimes most powerful when they step back. We are commanded לְהַעֲלֹת נֵר תָּמִיד — “to raise up a continual light.” Not merely to ignite a flame, but to kindle it until it rises on its own. Light is not self-sustaining. It requires tending. It requires pure oil. It requires constancy. In times of crisis, moral leadership functions the same way — disciplined, steady, luminous, even when the surrounding world feels dark. And Aaron is told: וְנָשָׂא אַהֲרֹן אֶת שְׁמוֹתָם עַל לִבּוֹ — “And Aaron shall carry their names upon his heart.” On his shoulders — responsibility. On his heart — compassion. Leadership is both weight and love. Today we will explore the enduring questions of this parsha: Why begin with pure olive oil before speaking of sacred garments? What does a continual flame teach about spiritual responsibility in unstable times? Why are the garments described as “for glory and for splendor”? What is the difference between carrying a people on one's shoulders and carrying them on one's heart? Why is Moses' name absent — and what does that teach about humility, sacrifice, and essence beyond ego? Tetzaveh reminds us: when the world trembles, the answer is not louder noise. It is steadier light. Leadership is not loudness — it is the disciplined commitment to sustain illumination and hold a people together when history grows dark. Let's begin. ——

In this conversation with Rabbanit Mali Brofsky, we study the Haftorah of Shabbat Zachor which recounts Shaul's loss of the monarchy in I Shmuel 15 in the war against Amalek. We explore the significance of Shaul's error in this narrative alongside the ideal nature of Israelite monarchy. This year the Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftorah.

Making Space for Hashem

Parshat Terumah 5786 by Josh Rosenfeld

BH Does your Torsh "take up space"?

Part of Rabbi Baum's Shabbat Table Bootcamp Series

Explanation of events and order of Parshiyot based on the debate between Rashi and Ramban

When you give, it's really nothing to do with the thing itself. The thing itself is just the box. The container. What's inside the box is you. You give yourself. The gift is the giving. Receiving is about what you get. Giving is always about giving yourself. In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed "Bohemian Rhapsody". His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band "Foreigner" (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, "Feels Like The First Time", "Cold as Ice" and "Long, Long Way from Home". Other production work included "The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars", "The Curves", and "Nutz" as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich's Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others. Rabbi Sinclair was born in London, and lives with his family in Jerusalem. He was educated at St. Anthony's Preparatory School in Hampstead, Clifton College, and Bristol University.

Rav Elya Bloch points out what Yaakov was worried about and what Yaakov was not concerned about.

In this conversation with Michael Rainsbury, head of Lifelong Learning at the London School of Jewish Studies (LSJS), we discuss King Shlomo's leadership style as expressed through the building of the Mikdash (Temple). Shlomo's reign, perhaps the pinnacle of the monarchical period, also underscores the interpersonal and spiritual challenges of national expansion and power. This year the Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftorah.
