Earlier, in describing the order of the day of the High Priest in preparation for Yom Kippur, we mentioned that he would “burn the incense and prepare the Menorah.” We can assume that every day the service follows this order. If so, we have a problem: the order of the service in the Tractate “Tamid,” which is specifically dedicated to Temple procedure , is listed differently: first the Menorah and then the incense.
This leads us to a review of the tamid offering and the comment “what does it matter if he sprinkles first on the northeast corner of the altar and then on the southwest corner? Let him sprinkle first on the southwest corner and then on the northeast corner!
It is because the master said: All turns should be only to the right, to the east, sprinkling that which he encounters first.
What doe the preference to the right (chirality) mean, both culturally and scientifically?
