Parashat Tetzaveh, 5774/2014 edition
I have nothing new to say, at the moment. Check my Tetzaveh post from last year, which includes links to older editions.
Conservadox complains that, unlike our ancient ancestors, "many Americans have lost the connection between clothing and dignity.'"
Mechon Hadar's Rav Shai Held posits that G-d can be close, but can't be "tamed."

Since I can't edit this post on my office computer, I'm adding my "second thought" in a comment:
From Exodus Chapter 28 שְׁמוֹת
לו וְעָשִׂיתָ צִּיץ, זָהָב טָהוֹר; וּפִתַּחְתָּ עָלָיו פִּתּוּחֵי חֹתָם, קֹדֶשׁ לַיהוָה. 36 And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and engrave upon it, like the engravings of a signet: HOLY TO THE LORD.
לז וְשַׂמְתָּ אֹתוֹ עַל-פְּתִיל תְּכֵלֶת, וְהָיָה עַל-הַמִּצְנָפֶת; אֶל-מוּל פְּנֵי-הַמִּצְנֶפֶת, יִהְיֶה. 37 And thou shalt put it on a thread of blue, and it shall be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.
לח וְהָיָה, עַל-מֵצַח אַהֲרֹן, וְנָשָׂא אַהֲרֹן אֶת-עֲוֹן הַקֳּדָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר יַקְדִּישׁוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, לְכָל-מַתְּנֹת קָדְשֵׁיהֶם; וְהָיָה עַל-מִצְחוֹ תָּמִיד, לְרָצוֹן לָהֶם לִפְנֵי יְהוָה. 38 And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity committed in the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow, even in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD.
I must admit to finding it a bit strange that a Kohen Gadol/High Priest, in this case Aharon/Aaron (the first Kohen Gadol), went walking around with something resembling a decanter tag on his head.
