Take the first pasuk (verse) in this Parsha and look at a deeper level of the words… for both Torah and Tora learning. This version is based on Rabbi David Wolfe-Blank, z”l, slightly modified.
And you shall command the Israelites that they take you oil of olives, pure, beaten, for the light, to burn a lamp regularly. (Shemot, 2720)
And you shall command (tetzaveh)
Connect the more intuitive parts of you
(Tetzaveh means command and connect; a mitzvah is a connector between us and Hashem)
the Israelites
with the more conventional parts of you
(I prefer with the fellowship of Godwrestlers)
That they take you oil of olives,
Take and absorb deeply inside yourselves wisdom from the tree of life
pure,
purified of subtle agendas
beaten,
in submission to Hashem’s will
for the light,
so that its inner light shines through
to burn a lamp
with the intention that each soul and spirit will rise
regularly.
As a result of your immersion in the light.
The lesson
Connect the more intuitive parts of you with the fellowship of Godwrestlers. Take and absorb deeply inside yourselves wisdom from the tree of life, purified of subtle agendas, in submission to Hashem’s will, so that its inner light shines through with the intention that each soul and spirit will rise as a result of your immersion in the light.

Note that the Tora Dojo comments are highlighted in a different color. This should help teachers in their sharing Tora-Torah with younger students at their level of comprehension.
