One of the daily services in the Temple was \u05ea\u05bc\u05b0\u05e8\u05d5\u05bc\u05de\u05b7\u05ea \u05d4\u05b7\u05d3\u05b6\u05bc\u05e9\u05c1\u05b6\u05df, the removal of ashes from the altar. The altar represents the connection between God and Israel (Rashi, Ex. 20:21) and resting upon it is the ,\u05e0\u05b5\u05e8 \u05ea\u05bc\u05b8\u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05d3, the deeply symbolic \u201ceternal flame,\u201d which is never to be extinguished (Lev. 6:6). The ashes are removed to ensure that it continues to burn well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u05ea\u05bc\u05b0\u05e8\u05d5\u05bc\u05de\u05b8\u05d4, however, does not literally mean \u201cremove,\u201d but rather \u201clift\u201d; the form evolved in rabbinic Hebrew from the biblical verb \u05d4\u05b5\u05b4\u05e8\u05d9\u05dd, see Leviticus 6:3. (A \u05ea\u05bc\u05b0\u05e8\u05d5\u05bc\u05de\u05b8\u05d4 in the biblical usage of the form is a thing \u201craised\u201d in status from profane to holy; a gift offered to God.) The term, then, hints at a significance to the lifting of the ashes in itself, beyond the functionality of removing them; the ashes, which are the residue of the offerings brought to God, retain some worth of their own. While the removal of the ashes is performed in ordinary garments, suggesting that it is not a ceremonial service but simply a functional task, the lifting of the ashes is performed in the priestly garments, though only in two of the usual four, suggesting a service which is partly functional and partly ceremonial in its own right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excerpted
