This week's parsha, Behalotcha, describes how Aaron, the Kohen Gadol, lights the Menorah in the mishkan daily. According to this parasha, Aaron lights the Menorah every day exactly according to the directions that God relays through Moses. The Rabbis noted that it was remarkable for Aaron to do this task repeatedly with enthusiasm, day after day, in the precise and correct manner and never tire of it. Menachem Mendl of Kosk said that Aaron's service was directed from his innermost heart, which made Aaron perfect for the job he held as high priest.
As Jews, we are required to do many religious tasks on a daily basis. Every morning at GHA we begin with tefillot. We say the same prayers every day. On a weekly basis we observe Shabbat and every year we celebrate the same cycle of Jewish holidays.
How do you and your family perform these Jewish rituals with enthusiasm? How do you make them fell fresh and exciting?
