On today’s pages, Zevachim 77 and 78, the rabbis teach that even substances normally prohibited on the altar may be burned if they serve only to create a pleasing aroma, raising the deeper question of why scent is the Torah’s chosen language for divine acceptance. Our guest, Rabbi David Bashevkin, helps us explore how fragrance becomes a symbol of memory, lingering presence, and the subtle traces of holiness that remain even when the source is gone. How does this unique sense invite us to notice what came before and what still echoes in our lives? Listen and find out.
