Incense for the Third Temple: Avraham Sand is a master aromatherapist who has been traveling the world for over two decades to create his own organic essential oils. He has trained an army of aromatherapists in person and through his online courses and authored Mystical Aromatherapy: The Divine Gift of Fragrance. In addition to his more than 120 essential oils, he offers a Temple Incense set composed of the eleven spices used to make the incense in Solomon’s Temple. Avraham sees the aroma of the ketoret as a sensory gateway to redemption. “The ketoret (Temple incense) is the fragrance that elevates every person to the highest level of consciousness,” Avraham explained. Avraham cited the Jewish source who teaches that in the story of the Garden of Eden, all the senses except for one are mentioned – sight, touch, taste, and hearing ( Genesis 3:6-8). Only the sense of smell is missing from this story. The sages learn that the sense of smell was not tainted in the Garden of Eden and remained in its original pure state, unsullied by sin. The Talmud (Brachot 43:b) teaches that fragrance is the only thing the soul derives pleasure but the body does not. Indeed, Jews bless over pleasant fragrances just as we bless over food and drink. “The ketoret is the most perfect fragrance and is the fragrance of the Garden of Eden,” Avraham said. “This will be the fragrance of the Messiah." . . . we aren’t allowed to burn the ketoret without the Temple and the Golden Altar.” Avraham also explained that the ketoret was archetypal medicine. Avraham explained that modern perfumes and fragrances are manufactured, mostly from petrochemicals, to mimic the natural odors but because they are manmade, they lack the health benefits. “Before commercial perfumes, doctors and healers were the perfumers,” Avraham said. “Because perfume was medicine. It was for the body and soul. That is why it was a central element in the Temple. And in the Third Temple, the ketoret will be natural, precisely as described in the Torah.
