Tetzave
Sfat emet תרלה and you command. Milashon mitzvah. You should become the mitzvah. ואתה תצוה.
We are sent to this world to do mitzvot. But our mission is primarily that we should be completely devoted to HaShem doing what He wants us to do so we become completely batel to the mission that we are the mitzvah!!
The Rebbe:
Moshe’s name is left out. And yet it is the word meaning joining tzavta.
They brought the oil to Moshe even though it was Aharon’s mitzvah. Cos a mitzvah changes like love or like a candle it goes up and down. Aharon was love.
Yet Moshe was constant light and the menora was forever. And therefore needed the koach of Moshe. And therefore needed to go via Moshe.
