Burning the Incense

Comment

Exodus 30:7 "And Aaron shall burn upon it (the altar) sweet incense every morning"

HaShem wants us to appreciate the greatness of the Beit HaMikdash with all our senses.

Looking at its majestic structure; listening to the Levites' music; and presenting sacrifices sharpens our awareness of the holiness of the Beit HaMikdash.

Through our sense of smell, we are also inspired by the sacredness in the Beit HaMikdash.

The priests are commanded to burn incense on the golden altar. This fine mixture of herbs fills the air with an exceptional aroma.
