20 Tetzaveh: Day 5 (Thursday)

9 Adar 5786.

Today's reading is Exodus 29:19 to 29:37.

This is the link to Daily Chumash with Rashi at Chabad.

The Daily Wisdom from the Lubavitcher Rebbe is titled "The Power of Holiness."

On 26 February 2026 at 7:22 AM EST, Jonathan writes:

We read in Exodus 29:37, "For seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and consecrate it. Then the altar will become most holy; whatever touches the altar will be holy." (BSB)

Question for Gemini: "What in this model might be the symbolic significance of the seven days required for the sanctification of the priests and the altar in Exodus 29:37 - is there any kind of ceremony after a new rabbi has completed seven years of leadership service to the community, or should it take seven years of practical rabbinics to achieve a certain benchmark?"

Answer:

Let's see where Torah with Jonathan stands after seven weeks, then after seven months, and finally after seven years, if this is how long God is calling me to make daily atonement at this hybrid Blogger-Chabad-MJTI-Bible Hub-Gemini AI altar.
