TORAH TALK FOR THE TABLE with Rabbi David
Parshat Tetzaveh
Parshat Tetzaveh talks about the Bigdei Kehuna - the clothes/costume that the Kohen Gadol (high priest) would wear when serving HaShem.
Discussion Questions
Do you think there is a connection between the Kohen getting dressed up to serve HaShem and getting dressed up on Purim?
Why are clothes so important?
What do your clothes tell people about you?
What can you learn about others from their clothes?
Let me know your answers, either by emailing rabbidavid@beby.org or telling me at shul!
We want to grow the program and need YOUR HELP! Email Rabbi David for more info.
