Ki Tisa - The Wash Basin
Why was the ‘Kiyor’; wash basin, used as a preparation for the Kohen’s service in the Holy Temple, placed inside and in the center of the Temple, and not outside, before entering?

Ki tisa It was so good to be able to hear since we have no synagogue here. You are our only link. From your talk, I learned that the placement of the washing bowl being in front of the Holy of Holys and yet inside rather than outside the tent as a preparation for the cohens to enter the holy of holys. This was about being cleased by the water and also from within, about personal holiness. It was about being spiritually holy before G-d. Reply

Your teaching is fill with so much JOY about how to go about serving the LORD. So wonderful, beautiful and Holy. Thank you for helping to understand the Torah. Reply
It is good that you added, or should I say revealed some freshness to the to the seemingly, at least at times, dry experience of preparing ourselves to meet our maker.
