“…and he shall carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place” (Leviticus 6:4).

Just as ashes can catch fire again. even that which is utterly corrupt and “outside the camp” can change for the better. Since G-d ultimately hopes that even the wicked be restored, we must not discard the ashes. We place them in a clean place – perhaps they will once again glow. (The Ishbitzer Rebbe)
