Mitzvah: Poles of the Ark (#96)

The Ark was the most iconic of the vessels of the Temple. Housed in the Holy of Holies, visited only once a year by the High Priest on Yom Kippur, the Ark represents the epicenter of holiness of our people. A series of nested boxes containing the tablets etched by God, covered by cherubs hewn from a single block of gold, the Ark represents Torah and our most intimate connection with our Creator. In this interesting Mitzvah we are told that the poles fastened to either side of the Ark must never be removed from their rings.
