But before the incident isrecorded another important lawis presented – the constructionof the Kiyor – the wash basin.This was an item used In theMishkan and later in the BeisHamikdash to wash the handsand feet of the Kohanim beforethey began their holy service.The Baal HaTanya points outthat various items fabricated for the Mishkan weremade from gold, silver and copper, but nothingsparkled except for the Kiyor which was made fromcopper mirrors presented by the women. These were17 Adar 1 5782Rabbi Yisroel Edelmanthe last of the Mishkan articles to bemade but were used at the start of every service.Imagine the feeling of the Kohen proudly entering theMishkan walking past theimpatient waiting proletarianswith their offerings in hand –nothing could happen withouthim! Then he would approachthe wash basin and see hisreflection on the gleamingcopper; it was truly a humblingexperience. It was a moment ofsoul searching and a reminder itis but a gift of birth that I am aKohen. He was ready to serveHashem and his brethren. Maywe take a moment of reflectionbefore we Davven and rememberwho we are and appreciate thebountiful blessings Hashem has bestowed upon us.THIS WEEK’S NEWSLETTER ISJanet Rottenberg on the Yahrzeit of her mother, Miriam bas Klonimus Kalman, A’H;Rochelle & Joseph (Yossi) Seif on the engagement of their son, Louie Seif to Hindy Edell;Debbie (Deanna) Jacobs on the 30th Yahrzeit of her husband, Shlomo ben Pesach, A’H.PLEASE READ IMPORTANT INFOREGARDING COVID ON PAGE 2
