Welcome to Congregation Tiferes Yisroel Parshas Acharei Mos/Shabbos HaGadol

This week’s Lev Echad is in honor of: All those who graciously offered to share their seder. Our kehilla’s the best!

The Weekly Parsha

The Goat for Azazel Perhaps the most unusual of all the Temple

services was the Yom Kippur ceremony of Azazel, sending off a goat into the wilderness, symbolically carrying away the sins of Israel. No other Temple offering was treated in such a fashion. Even more surprising, immediately after describing the Yom Kippur service, the Torah warns, “And they will stop sacrificing to the demons who tempt them” (Lev. 17:7). The text implies that the goat sent to Azazel is the sole exception to this rule, in apparent contradiction to the fundamental principles of the Temple service. Was this unusual ritual a “sacrifice to the demons”?

THE HIGHEST FORM OF FORGIVENESS In order to understand the meaning of the

Azazel service, we must appreciate the nature of the forgiveness and atonement of Yom Kippur.

The highest level of forgiveness emanates from the very source of divine chesed. It comes from an infinite greatness that embraces both the most comprehensive vision and the most detailed scrutiny. This level knows the holy and the good with all of their benefits, as well as the profane and the evil with all of their harm. It recognizes that all is measured on the exacting scale of divine justice, and that the tendencies towards evil and destruction also serve a purpose in the universe. Such an elevated level of forgiveness understands how, in the overall picture, everything fits together.

This recognition creates a complicated dialectic. There is a clear distinction between good and evil, truth and falsehood, nobility and debasement. Absolute truth demands that we confront the paths of idolatry and evil, in deed and thought; it opposes all repulsiveness, impurity and sin. Still, in its greatness, it finds a place for all. Only an elevated understanding can absorb this concept: how to combine together all aspects of the universe, how to arrange each force, how to extend a measured hand to all opposites, while properly demarcating their boundaries.

The forgiveness of Yom Kippur aspires to this lofty outlook, as expressed in the Azazel offering. Azazel is the worship of demons — the demonic wildness and unrestrained barbarity to be found in human nature. For this reason, the offering was sent to a desolate cliff in the untamed wilderness. The elevated service of Yom Kippur is able to attain a level that confers a limited recognition even to the

demonic evil of Azazel. At this level, all flaws are transformed and rectified.

SENT AWAY TO THE WILDERNESS The abstract knowledge that evil also has a

purpose in the world must be acknowledged in some fashion in our service of God. This acknowledgment occurs in the elevated service of Yom Kippur. In practical ethics, however, there is no place for this knowledge. Heaven forbid that evil should be considered good, or that the wicked should be considered righteous. Therefore, the goat for Azazel was sent to a desolate, barren place — a place uninhabited by people. Human society must be based on a just way of life, led by aspirations of holiness and purity.

Triple Measure of Incense A CLOUD IN THE HOLY OF HOLIES

The High Priest was only permitted to enter the inner sanctuary of the Temple on one day of the year — on Yom Kippur.

“Speak to your brother Aaron, that he may not enter the sanctuary within the partition at any time ... so that he may not die, for I appear over the Ark cover in a cloud.” (Lev. 16:2)

What exactly was this cloud inside the Holy of Holies? In Yoma 53a, the Talmud explains that this was a cloud of incense smoke. The ketoret (incense) played a central role in the special service of Yom Kippur. Only after burning the ketoret inside the Holy of Holies was the High Priest allowed to enter, as it says:

“Then he shall take a fire pan full of burning coals ... together with both hands full of finely pulverized incense ... so that the cloud from the incense will envelope the Ark cover.” (Lev. 16:12-13)

What is this special connection between the ketoret and the Yom Kippur service? And why did it need to be finely pulverized to a greater degree than the incense that was offered on other days?

BEYOND TIME Once a year, the kohanim would produce

enough ketoret for the entire year. They would prepare 368 portions of ketoret — one portion for each day of the year, plus an extra three portions for Yom Kippur. Why did the service on Yom Kippur require an extra three measures of incense?

The central theme of Yom Kippur is teshuvah (repentance) and kapparah (atonement). What is remarkable about these concepts is that they allow us, in a sense, to rewrite the past. Teshuvah is not just about attaining forgiveness for past misdeeds. The Sages taught (Yoma 86b) that there is a level of elevated teshuvah through which “sins are transformed into merits.” They further

explained that “itzumo shel yom mechapeir” — the very day of Yom Kippur, even without the Temple service, provides atonement (Yoma 85b). What gives Yom Kippur this unique ability to transcend time and change history?

The inner essence of the entire year is contained within Yom Kippur. The Torah employs an unusual phrase to describe Yom Kippur: achat ba-shanah — “once in the year” (Lev. 16:34). Yom Kippur has a singular quality that illuminates during the entire year. Thus the paradox: the special nature of Yom Kippur appears achat — once a year, within the framework of time — but at the same time, it is ba-shanah — it influences and elevates the entire year, transcending the normal boundaries of time.

We may distinguish between three aspects of Yom Kippur and its special relationship to time: • The special nature of the day itself —

“itzumo shel yom” — with its own unique holiness.

• Its ability to repair and redeem the previous year.

• Its potential to influence and uplift the coming year.

Since Yom Kippur affects time in three directions — present, past, and future — the Yom Kippur service requires three extra measures of ketoret, in addition to the regular daily quota.

EXTRA FINE Why did the ketoret of Yom Kippur need

to be finely pulverized when it was prepared on the day before Yom Kippur?

Despite the fact that the scent of incense engages our most refined sense,1 the daily ketoret is offered within the framework of time and thus relates to our physical reality. But on Yom Kippur, the incense needs to be dakah minhadakah. It is returned to the mortar and pounded until it becomes a fine powder. The ketoret of Yom Kippur must match the singular holiness of the day. It must be extraordinarily refined, unfettered by the limitations of physicality and material needs. Only then will the ketoret correspond to Yom Kippur’s lofty goals of pure thought and holy aspirations.

Focus on Chesed

How to Treat Guests by HaRav Eliezer Chrysler

The Ma’asei la’Melech, quoting the Ahavas Chesed, describes Avrohom’s

strategy in the mitzvah of Hachnosas Orchim, and explains how we can

emulate his example — at least at our level.

1. First of all, he waited outside to see if he could find any potential guests

upon whom he might prevail to partake of his hospitality. (This may be a

little beyond our level, but at least we can learn to receive guests willingly

and warmly.)

2. He gave them water and facilities to have a wash, after travelling on the

dusty and dirty roads.

3. Whilst they were waiting for the meal that he was already preparing, he

offered them facilities to recline under a tree. (We too, should show our

guests where they can sleep if they are tired, or at least offer them a settee

where they can relax, already before the meal, so that they will be fresh when

it is served.)

4. Taking note that they were in a hurry to leave, he told them already in

advance that, after the meal, they would be able to leave immediately, and

that he would not detain them.

5. He spoke of a little bread, but went on to serve them a sumptuous meal,

with nothing short of the best that he had to offer (“speak little, do a lot!”).

6. Not only did he serve them personally, tending to all their needs, but he

did everything on the run, telling his family members to do likewise.

7. True to his word, after they had eaten, he did nothing to delay their

departure, allowing them to go on their way.

8. He accompanied them on their way to S’dom (a vital part of the mitzvah

of receiving guests — see Da’as Zekeinim mi’Ba’alei Tosfos, Shoftim 21:7).

Now that’s Hachnosas Orchim at its best!
