Episode Synopsis

From Parshat Tzav, we explore the profound symbolism of the thanksgiving offering that includes both matzah and chametz. These two elements, often seen as opposites, come together to reflect the beautiful tension between humility and joy, pride and restraint. Why is leaven—usually forbidden—allowed in this offering? What does this teach us about our ego, our gratitude, and our relationship with Hashem?In this teaching, you'll discover:✡️ The four levels of Torah interpretation (Pardes) as they relate to this offering✡️ Why gratitude is time-sensitive and a form of confession✡️ How spiritual pride and humility can both serve Hashem when properly aligned✡️ What the prohibition of fat and blood symbolizes in our personal walk✡️ Why thanksgiving is the one offering the sages say will never cease—even in the Messianic ageMost importantly, you’ll be reminded of why we choose this unique path—faith in Yeshua and faithfulness to Torah—and how gratitude sustains our spiritual life, our marriages, our friendships, and our connection to the Divine.Let it challenge and uplift you as we approach Pesach with both joy and reverence.
