There is a beautiful Chasam Soifer on the beginning
of the Parshah that discusses the Terumas Hadeshen. Rashi says Tzav means a
Zirus. The Chasam Soifer who was a Poisek, looks at it like a Halacha and says
in the Bais Hamikdash there was a Goirel for who would do the Avoidah. Terumas
Hadeshen was different in that whoever ran up would get the Z’chus. He goes on
to explain why an Avoidah that seems to be the least significant like taking
ash off the Mizbaiach and the fact that not the whole Avoidah was done in
Bigdei Kehuna is the one that has a Zirus that is a part of it.
He is Makdim by explaining that Avraham Avinu
introduced Shacharis, Yitzchak Avinu introduced Minchah and Yaakov Avinu
introduced Maariv. Yaakov is also considered the chosen of the Avos. Yet we
find that Maariv is a Rishus.
The Chovos Halevavois brings from Maseches Yevamos
Daf Kuf Tes, The Gemara says someone who is only going to keep the Torah,
meaning only what he is obligated to do, is missing the whole message of being
someone who does Ratzoin Hashem. The Nikuda is that there has to be something
more. From this the Chasam Soifer explains, that the burning of the Aivarim
overnight in the Bais Hamikdash was not an Avoidah, no one had to do anything.
However, the Kohanim who weren’t even required to be there as they could have
gone to sleep, would make sure that the meat was turned over with pitchforks,
in order that it would be burned thru and thru. The whole night was an
opportunity to do something that they were not obligated to do. That has a
special Chavivus because they went beyond their obligation. So in the morning
the Deshen (ash) is taken away, that the Torah is saying, should be done
B’derech Z’rizus.
Maariv is a rishus, as it is K’neged the Aivarim
that were burned overnight. It is a Klal Gadol, that you can never show love by
doing something you must do. You have to do something that is above what you
must or have to do.
This is the Vort of V’chol Hamarbeh L’sapeir Harei
Zeh Meshubach. If you go beyond what you are obligated to do than you get
praise.
With this we can explain something else. It says
that when the Terumas Hadeshen was taken to the side of the Mizbaiach and
dropped down that it miraculously disappeared into the floor of the Mishkan or
the Bais Hamikdash. This is a Nais that seems to be purposeless. Yet we see
that it occurred in the Bayis Sheini when a lot of the other miracles had
stopped.
If Terumas Hadeshen is performed to show Ahava, to
show a love, Hakadoish Baruch Hu reciprocated. Those ashes that came with this
Avoida of love, became part of the floor of the Mishkan and part of the floor
of the Bais Hamikdash and became Koidesh. That miracle was also something that
was not needed Mitzad the Ribboinoi Shel Oilam to Klal Yisrael, but
nevertheless this accepting of the Ashes shows the love that Hakadoish Baruch
Hu was Mekabeil this small offering of Terumas Hadeshen and that is where the
Chashivus comes from.
Pesach is a time of Hiskarvus to Hakadoish Baruch
Hu. All the different so called Chumras that we take on are all a sign of us
wanting to do more than one is obligated to do and showing Ahavah. That is
really what Pesach is all about.
