Episode Synopsis

This week's Torah portion, Tetzaveh, reveals something fascinating—the presence of two altars in the sanctuary: the outer altar, made of copper, and the inner altar, covered in gold. Why are they separate? And what do they teach us about our own spiritual journey?The outer altar represents our actions—the mitzvot we perform, our prayers, our good deeds. It brings us close to Hashem. But the inner altar, where incense was offered, represents something deeper—a bond with Hashem that lingers, much like the fragrance of incense that clings to us even after we leave its presence.How do we move from simply drawing near to truly bonding with Hashem? How do we ensure that our external actions align with our internal devotion?Let’s explore this powerful lesson together.May our connection with Hashem not just be close—but unbreakable.
