Dvar Torah Parshas Tzav

Liyluy Nishmas Elchono Tzvi ben R'Yisroel Menachem and my cousin Zev Yehuda ben Reb Shmuel Mordechai(Yahrtzeit today).... In perek vav pasuk beis it says "Tzav es Aharon V'es banav leimor,zos Toras Ha'olah" Rashi says that the lashon of Tzav means to be mezareiz and also to make sure that it is continued throughout the generations.Chazal ask why davka by the olah does the Torah use a lashon of "Tzav" as oppose to "Daber" or "Omar" like all the other karbanos? Reb Shimon explains that the lashon of tzav is used in a case where there is a monetary loss that will occur by fulfilling the mitzvah.(What that loss is varies according to the Gur Aryeh,Ramban Ohr Hachaim,and others)The Rosh Yeshivah Ztl explains, that from here we can see the power money has on a person and how much people are machshiv it.Aharon Hakohen the Kohen Gadol of Klal Yisrael,a leader of the generation,the man who had chalishas hadaas at the chanukas Hamishkan because he and his sheivet didnt bring a karbon,could have caused Aharon to be a a tiny bit lazy when it came to bringing the karbon olah. Aharon with all his greatness could have on the smallest level lost love for a mitzvah because of a taayvah for money.We have to work on ourselves to make sure that we can control ourselves and not let money hold us back from doing the right thing and chas v'shalom bring us to do the wrong thing.Good Shabbos
