Yoma 33: Every Chance to Do a Mitzvah Talking Talmud
-
- Judaism
What was the daily avodah (not the Yom Kippur part of the day)? Aligning the procedure with the biblical text that orders it, and ordering the day, at least as per the Amoraim. For example, cleaning out the ash (terumat ha-deshen) takes place before cleaning out the menorah's lamps. Which leads to the key point that we do not pass over an opportunity to do mitzvot. This aligns with the order of operations as compared to what task happens first, based on what you encounter first. This plays out in tefillin as well. And tzedakah. [Our apologies for the wonky audio. We did not know anything was going wrong in those moments!]
