Beyond the Call of Duty
If a Levite [priest] comes from one of your cities out of all Israel, where he sojourns, he may come, whenever his soul desires, to the place that G-d will choose.
Deuteronomy 18:6
On pilgrim festivals, any priest who made the journey to the Temple would be allowed to participate in the communal offerings, even if it was not his division’s turn to serve.
We see here that when a priest decided that his relationship with G-d demanded that he perform some aspect of the Temple rites that would otherwise be performed by someone else, G-d gave him a special dispensation to do so, allowing him into the sacred precincts even when it was not technically his turn to be there.
Similarly, there are times when we feel inspired to set our personal concerns aside and perform some aspect of humanity’s collective mission to transform the world into G-d’s home that is seemingly not our job. We learn from this verse that when we are inspired this way, G-d Himself assists us, providing us with all the physical and spiritual means to carry out our resolve.
