Thought of the Week with thanks to Rafi Goodman. In this week’s Parsha Tzav, we see how G-d instructs Moshe to command Aaron and his sons regarding their duties and rights as Kohanim (“priests”) who offer the korbanot (animal and meal offerings) in the mishkan. One of those offerings is for a penitent to bring – a guilt offering – when a person admits to having falsely denied owing someone else money. The Torah describes such a denial as “acting unfaithfully to G-d”.

Any sin can be considered unfaithful to G-d as we are acting in opposition to G-d’s will. Yet the Torah is making a specific point in case of someone who acts unfairly to his/her fellow. Even with personal relationships which may be viewed as not “religious” or not pertaining to our relationship with G-d, the Torah is telling us that someone who contradicts his/her fellow is a direct affront to G-d. Positive interpersonal relationships are absolutely vital and Hashem takes it personally.
