  - <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>An examination of a passage from the
    Zohar on Exodus (2:218b‐219b) provides Jewish mystical perspectives on disease,
    which may help inform a Christian response of solace and healing to illness and
    suffering in general, and to the COVID‐19 pandemic in particular. The aforementioned
    passage in the Zohar describes the preparation of incense. The primary purpose
    of the portion maintains that incense has special healing powers that even relieve
    people from severe diseases. The relating Midrash Ha‐Ne'lam explains the passage
    further by referring to the 4th century Palestinian Rabbi Aha arriving at a town
    that struggles with an epidemic. It describes how R. Aha initiates a ritual containing
    a study of the Talmud on incense, after which the village is healed from the epidemic.
    The Jewish theological background and reception of the passage may shed new light
    on how ritual and sensory experience can alleviate the experience of disease and
    suffering.</jats:p>@eng
