Do You Love Your Work? | Parsha with the Chief: Tzav

Work is often measured in terms of employment and economic survival.
To understand its deeper meaning is to begin seeing life itself in a different way.
In this week's parsha, the Torah begins with a surprising image. A Kohen, dressed in sacred garments, performs what appears to be a simple cleaning task: removing the ashes from the altar.
On the surface, this seems menial. Yet the Torah treats it as an act of holy service.
Why?
And why does Pirkei Avot teach us not merely to work, but to love work?
Because the Torah's understanding of work is very different from the way we usually think about it. What looks ordinary actually carries a deeper purpose, and what feels like effort holds the key to something far greater.
In this week's talk on the Parsha of Tzav, Chief Rabbi Dr Warren Goldstein explores this question through the deeper wisdom of the Torah and our sages.
