Avodah Zarah has entered the holy of holies, the holy Torah. This week's Parasha, Pinchas, gives a clear display of this. The text is totally from editors of the Torah. The chapters BaMidbar 28,29 deal with the Chagim, and detail all the Korbanot. Compare this to Exodus 23, and see what HaShem has ordered. We fear with great trembling that the difference is Avodah Zarah. Regarding the Beit HaMikdash, only one Mitzva exists for us in clarity, the lighting of the Menorah. Oh HaShem, provide more clarity, and give that we may be successful in the war against the Amalekites that come out against us.
Tonight, when we say Kiddush, let us think about the light that will come, and that will dispel the darkness, the darkness of Avodah Zarah, and the darkness of Amalek.
