Since this object appears last, it indicates that it is the conclusion and objective of the service. What lesson does it have? Based on Likutei Sichot, vol. 1, p.171.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>La lectura de la Tor\u00e1 de esta semana se llama <em>Tetzaveh<\/em>, which is actually a continuation of the previous Torah reading, <em>Terumah<\/em>, where the Torah gives details about the construction of the <em>Mishkan<\/em> (the Tabernacle), the mobile Temple in the desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, in the previous reading, <em>Terumah<\/em>, we learned about most of the utensils used in the <em>Mishkan<\/em>. For instance, there was the <em>Menorah<\/em> (candelabra), the <em>Shulchan<\/em> (table) with the showbreads, etc. In this week&#8217;s reading, <em>Tetzaveh<\/em>, we primarily read about the garments worn by the <em>Kohen<\/em> (priest), including those of the High Priest and the regular priests. Additionally, we learn about the inauguration of the <em>Mishkan<\/em>\u2014specifically, which offerings needed to be brought to initiate the divine service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Unexpected Placement of the Golden Altar<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>However, at the end of this reading, we find something different: another utensil. This last utensil is called the <em>Mizbe&#8217;ach HaZahav<\/em>, which means the golden altar. There were two altars in the <em>Mishkan<\/em>: an external altar made of wood covered with copper and an internal altar\u2014this golden altar\u2014made of wood covered with gold. It was not very large, but its significance was profound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A famous question arises here: Why does the Torah introduce the construction of a utensil at the end of <em>Tetzaveh<\/em>, a portion that primarily discusses the garments of the priests and the inauguration offerings? In <em>Terumah<\/em>, the Torah already discussed the utensils of the <em>Mishkan<\/em>, including the copper altar, the table, and others. So why does it wait until the end of <em>Tetzaveh<\/em> to introduce the golden altar?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One explanation is that the completion and ultimate objective of the <em>Mishkan<\/em>&#8216;s service was actually in the golden altar. That is why it is placed at the end\u2014everything culminates here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Deeper Meaning of the Incense Offering<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What was the purpose of this altar? It was used for <em>ketoret<\/em>, the burning of incense. This was a special service where the <em>Kohen Gadol<\/em> (High Priest) would enter a secluded room\u2014just him and G-d\u2014and burn specific species of incense. The smoke and fragrance would rise as an offering to G-d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This service was so sacred that, according to our <em>sages<\/em>, not even the angels were allowed to be present when the <em>Kohen<\/em> was offering the incense. This teaches us a fundamental lesson: the highest form of serving G-d is not through publicizing one\u2019s deeds\u2014announcing, &#8220;Look, I did this! I learned that! See my picture with this rabbi!&#8221; True divine service is in the intimate, private moments between a person and G-d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Public vs. Private Divine Service<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>However, our tradition also states that it is good to publicize righteous deeds. We often see pictures of people doing <em>mitzvot<\/em> (good deeds), and donations often carry the names of the donors. How do we reconcile these two ideas?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is simple: When publicizing a good deed inspires others to follow suit\u2014creating a positive form of &#8220;envy&#8221; that leads to more good in the world\u2014then it is beneficial. However, if publicizing one&#8217;s deeds might cause harm, feed one&#8217;s ego excessively, or become a display of self-importance, then it is better to keep them private.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, the placement of the golden altar at the very end of <em>Tetzaveh<\/em> teaches us this profound message: the highest level of divine service is the one done in private, just between the individual and G-d.ave a dwelling place in the material world.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u05d1\u05e1&#8221;\u05d3 Parashat Tetzaveh In this week&#8217;s Torah reading we find the last utensil on the construction of the Tabernacle: the Golden Altar.
