Tzav

We are taught to consider Moshe,

As the peak of all humility,

Yet our parsha hints 

It’s a family trait,

That accounts for his nobility.

Moshe strove to turn down the job,

Assigned at the burning bush,

And made every excuse

To avoid it;

HaShem had to give him a push.

And thus it seems with Aaron,

As Rashi himself has stated,

Moshe “took” for the Mikdash

Aaron and his sons;

Meaning - they had to be persuaded.

So Esther HaMalcha didn’t think she could do,

What it was that Mordechai asked,

The stakes were too high,

The chances too slim,

So she took on a three-day-long fast.

Best suited for leading a people, it seems,

Is the soul who thinks he’s not worthy,

Not the baal gava, who claims,

 to be made for the task,

Though to some this may seem topsy-turvy.
