BEHALOTCHA

Light the Candles

The parent or the teacher is responsible for the child or the student, just as the Priest was responsible for the wicks until they were lit.

Catching Fire

the Priest who lit the candelabra was to keep the fire close to the wick, until the wick itself caught fire and rose by itself. This is a lesson not only regarding the lighting of the great candelabra in the Temple but is also a metaphor for many life situations.

Focus at the center

The commandment that the six outside lamps should all face into the center lamp teach us where to focus our attention.

The High Priest and the Menora

The process and commandment of lighting the menorah served as a constant reminder to the High Priest of the important role that he was to always play in the furtherance of Torah and holiness in Jewish society.
