[Avodah] Explaining Seder haAvodah

[David Riceman]

RMB:

<<Anyone have suggestions for what to say before YK Mussaf to a room of 
semi-observant O affiliated Jews so as to help them relate to Seder 
haAvodah?>>

The minyan I often get asked to speak at is a bit more observant than 
that, but I think a lot of people there have the same problem. I 
generally pick out one detail and try to explain it.  One year, for 
example, I discussed the gemara in Yoma about how the Cohen Gadol really 
ought to use two right hands in the Kodesh HaKodoshim on YK (i can look 
up the details after Yom Tov, DV).  This year I hope to discuss the 
midrash "v'nasa hasair - zeh eisav - es kol avonos Tam, shene'emar 
v'yaakov ish tam".

Somehow every detail I pick leads either to H. Teshuva in the Rambam or 
Rabbi Kook's Oros HaTeshuva.
