The Sanctuary Flame Everlasting to Repair the World – Torah Portion-Tzav  

How then do we maintain our inner fire

Of passion for continuous commitment,

Day after day, never to be extinguished

As was the fire of offering on the altar!

 

The flame of our inner sanctuary

Requires responsible altruism.

Its energy, an unwavering source

Of eternal fueled ethics, principles.

 

The vigilance of conscience burns

Its way through negative thoughts, intentions,

Recognizing that no pause can exist

For the pursuit of justice and mercy.

 

The light of the flame is everlasting,

For it to bring about the world repaired.
