WHY ALL THE FANFARE?

This week’s Parsha, Ki Savo, opens with a very unique mitzvah, the mitzvah of Bikurim. While every mitzvah is unique in its own way, Bikurim is distinct in the manner which it is fulfilled. The mitzvah itself is for every landowner who has fruit trees to take his very first fruits of the season and present them to the Kohein in the Bais Hamikdosh. The way this mitzvah was performed was outstanding.
