Rabbi Reuven Taragin The Holiness within Fire - Rabbi Reuven Taragin

like parashat fayikra parshat sav begins with the carbon though but what becomes apparent very quickly is that we're focused here not on the carbonola in general but the carbon tamid and specifically the tamid being and the reason the torah focuses on this is because it's the continued consumption of the carbon thomas that keeps the fire of the mesbah going to the continuation of the sukkam here i talked about how we deal with the ashes to sustain the fire that's consuming the carbon tamid benha are buying because the clamactol it's critical that there be an age tumid burning on the mizbah the karban tamid here is really a way of sustaining the aish tamid we know the aish that came down mina shamayim to signify god's presence within the mishkan a continuation of the age that appeared at har sinai when hashem shrina was there the sustenance of that aish will be through the kurban tummy the rambam summarizes this mitzvah myth is even though the fire came down from the sky and was consumed through the carbon tom it was continued through the carbon tumid there was a mitzvah every day for the kohanim to bring aish as well the safer wonders why we had to add ish to the age that came in and he explains that man can only be blessed through his own actions and involvement and that the age on the mizbeh signifies the aish within ourselves the part of ourselves that excitement and that passion this fat emit builds off this idea and he says we always need the hit lavut the excitement in the lave-ish israel in the heart of a jewish person and this is what symbolized by the age tamid tukar alam is bach in fact this fadamit continues with his imagery and he says when this fire of passion and excitement continues it burns and consumes whatever potential problems may come into our heart like the carbon ola that's consumed on the mizbeh the lesson here of course is about consistency and about fire and passion in our lives to make sure that we sustain it so that we can be blessed with its sustenance [Music]
