In the Pitum HaKetores prayer, the ingredient list very carefully specifies that honey cannot be added. The entire offering wouldn’t be acceptable if there was honey.

Why not?
Wouldn’t it make it smell sweeter?

This video explains the incredibly fine line between physical pleasures that sweeten our relationship with G-d, and pleasures that we want for ourselves under the guise of “doing it for G-d.”

This important question, “is it for Hashem or is it for me,” makes all the difference in our service and actions going right up to G-d!

Thanks for your constant Tefillah,

Team Ketores for Israel
