      Commentary:  by Jane Prini 

        Did you know that the Jerusalem synagogue had the “Holy of Holies” or what the second reading calls “the Holy Place”. This was a special room in the inner courtyard where the Ark of the Covenant was protected by a heavy curtain from the ceiling to the floor and two huge golden angle figures standing guard over the Ark. Inside that Ark were three items: The 10 Commandment tablets, Aaron's staff (Moses’ brother and spokesperson) and manna (the bread the Israelites ate in the dessert). The people believed that the Spirit of God’s presence lived in this Holy of Holies. The only person permitted inside this sacred room was the High Priest. He could only go in once a year. It was to ask God to forgive his people for the sins they had committed. The High Priest was the only one who could be directly in God’s presence.
