Shabbat HaGadol: Commands for the Final Sabbath
Parashat Tzav: Shabbat Hagadol
This week is Parashat Tzav as well as Shabbat HaGadol. On Shabbat HaGadol, the final Shabbat that the Jewish People were in Mitzrayim, Hashem commanded them to begin the process of offering the Korban Pesach. Why did Hashem command the Jews to take the sheep for the korban four days before they were going to offer it? The Midrash answers, the time of the Geula had arrived but the Jews did not have the merits to be redeemed so Hashem gave them an additional commandment regarding the korban to help them. Look how precious a mitzvah is! Even the preparation of the Korban Pesach was able to give the Jews the merit to be redeemed.
We hope that just like Shabbat HaGadol was the last Shabbat for the Jews in Mitzrayim, so too it will be our last Shabbat in this long exile. B’ezrat Hashem, we should see the rebuilding of the Beit HaMikdash and be able to bring Hashem true glory inside of it.
Shabbat HaGadol Shalom!!
