In
Parshas Tzav we do have something that is slightly connected to the coming week
and that is the Mitzvah of the Korban Todah. As you know, on Erev Pesach this
coming Friday (a week from tomorrow) we will not say Mizmor L’soda. The reason
for that is that a Korban Todah was not offered on Erev Pesach because a normal
Todah is eaten for a day and a night. Since the Korban Todah has Chometz, a
person could not be Makriv it because it would be M’ma’ate the Zman Achiloson
because he would not allow the full time for it to be eaten. For that reason, on
Erev Pesach by Shacharis we skip Mizmor L’soda which is the Parsha K’neged the
Todah.
I have a
question that I would like to share with you. This idea that we do not say the
Parsha of the Todah on Erev Pesach, is it a non-event. Meaning normally we can
bring the Todah and now we can’t bring a Todah so it’s in a sense just a time
that an event cannot take place and that is the whole story. Or maybe no, maybe
it is a Kiyum of Zeicher L’mikdash. We know we have a Mitzvah which we learn
from a Posuk in Yirmiya, which the Gemara says that it is a Mitzvah to do
things Zeicher L’mikdash and therefore, my question is when we skip Mizmor
L’soda is it just a non-event, there is no Kiyum of anything by skipping it, it
is just that there is no Mitzvah to say it or perhaps it is a Kiyum of Zeicher
L’mikdash. We are doing something to remember what took place at the time of
the Bais Hamikdash.
Of
course it would be a Nafka Mina if someone comes late to Shul and only says
Baruch She’amar, Ashrei, and Yishtabach then he not Mikayeim skipping Mizmor
L’soda (on Erev Pesach) because he skipped everything. Well if Mizmor L’soda is
simply a non-event, we are just not doing something so then there is no Chisaron
Mitzad this part of the day. However, if you understand that Mizmor L’soda is an
opportunity to be Mekayeim Zeicher L’mikdash, then you get an added Mitzvah.
You might ask do we ever find a Zeicher
L’mikdosh which is done by not doing something. In other words we find Zeicher
L’mikdash by certain activities that we do like shaking the Lulav on the second
through seventh day (besides for Shabbos) of Sukkos which is only a Mitzvah to
do in the Mikdash we do it Zeicher L’mikdash. That is something we do. Do you
ever find that not doing something should be a Zeicher L’mikdash? The answer is
yes, we find it for example during the time of the Duchaning when the Kohanim
are saying the Bichas Kohanim to the people, we have a custom not to look at
the hands of the Kohanim, and we don’t even glance at the hands of the Kohanim.
What is the reason for that? The MIshna Brura in Siman 128:89 brings really
there is no Issur to glance at the hands of the Kohanim, it is just that since
in the Mikdash it was not done Noagim Gam Achshav Zeicher L’mikdash Shelo
L’habit Bo Klal. We have a custom not to look at the hands of the Kohanim as a
Zeicher L’mikdash. So here we are refraining from doing something as a Zeicher
L’mikdash. So we do see that there is such a concept and Mimeila the Chakira
stands. On Erev Pesach when we don’t say Mizmor L’soda should we be thinking
that the time that we skip it we are being Mekayeim Zeicher L’mikdash? Is that the Inyan or not?
