We are a community based in Woking and the surrounding area who meet weekly in groups to study scripture (Genesis to Revelation) from a Hebraic perspective and come together on Shabbat .
We follow primarily, but not exclusively, the Torah reading cycle and seek to understand and live it out.
People can join us either through a midweek group or on a Shabbat or both. You are welcome
This Week
Tzav
צַו
This week’s Torah portion is Tzav, a word that means “command.” It comes from the opening verse of Leviticus 6:9, where God instructs Moses, “Command Aaron and his sons…” These words usher us into a portion rich with sacred responsibility and divine instruction.
Tzav revisits the five types of offerings introduced in last week’s reading, but this time with special attention to the role of the priests, their duties, their conduct, and the reverence with which they were to approach their service. The portion reads almost like a guidebook for holiness, outlining the rituals that would elevate the ordinary into the realm of the sacred.
The portion concludes with a deeply moving scene, the seven-day ordination of Aaron and his sons. It was a moment of profound transformation as they stood at the threshold of their priestly calling, preparing to serve not just as leaders of ritual, but as stewards of God’s presence among the people.
Tzav reminds us that spiritual leadership is not only about ritual precision, but about humility, dedication, and a heart willing to serve. It challenges us to consider: In what ways are we called to elevate the ordinary moments of our lives into acts of holiness?
