The Priestly Garments, Part III
The joy of Purim is the joy of the pure, unmitigated intimate and direct relationship that each and every one of us has with G-d, the true King whose Divine will is the hidden force behind all that transpires in our lives. The Hamans in the world try to distance us from G-d and bluff and bully their way into positions of power over the nation of Israel. In this world of smoke and mirrors, masks and disguises, cloaks of deception, and garments of concealment, we must simply remain true to ourselves and to the One G-d whom we serve.
Dedication: This show is sacred to the memory of Daniel Ellis.

The joy we experience throughout the entire month of Adar is not solely in anticipation of the Purim celebration which marks the highlight of Adar. The joy is the joy of recognizing the hidden miracles that permeate our world, providing a window through which we experience G-d’s presence each and every day throughout the year.
Dedication: This show is sacred to the memory of William Jacob Spitz.

The Priestly Garments, Part III
We have just completed the Torah reading of Yitro, in which we received Torah at Sinai, and this week we are proceeding to the Torah reading, Mishpatim, in which we learn the details of Torah’s instructions for everyday living. How do we make such a fast and radical transition from the ethereal to the “mundane ” civil ordinances? The earthen altar, described in the closing lines of Yitro, provides the answer, and why the Temple Institute’s current Altar Project is so essential to mankind today.
Dedication: This show is sacred to the memory of Mr. Thomas Graczyk.

The priests are commanded to wear the priestly garments in order to perform the Divine service. But first, it is a commandment which falls upon the shoulders of all Israel to participate in the creation of the garments, either by employing their particular expertise, or by financially supporting the acquisition of the raw materials for the garments and their manufacture.
