This is the ritual law that יהוה has commanded: Instruct the Israelite people to bring you a red cow without blemish, in which there is no defect and on which no yoke has been laid. (19:2) This Shabbat we have one of the four special reading as we prepare for Passover. Its message is simple. Don’t sacrifice the good for the perfect. As we get ready for having family gather around, we know there will be tension. Arguments may break out but if we lower the expectation maybe the volume can be lowered as well. Recognizing there will be spills of wine and emotion may be the key to enjoying the time together more.
