Parshat Vayikra: How Can We Relate To Sacrifices Today?

For more Torah videos, check out www.alephbeta....
Using sacrifices as a way to connect with God seems alien. How are we supposed to connect with the myriad of details associated with animal sacrifice in the modern day? Join Rabbi Fohrman as he explores this fundamental question by reexamining the three categories of sacrifice, and discover how the ancient tradition creates a modern framework for how to connect with God.

Here is the Original Semitic Text. HERE IS THE REAL SAVIOR YaH The Heavenly FATHER was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"

Please mention that now we do them VERBALLY reciting offerings (in the Siddur/prayer book). Very important daily!

[@alojaairewele9288]

But the Torah never prescribed prayers to replace the offerings.

[@maryhardy6123]

That wes such a great teaching. This was the one thing I didn't understand. You have made it clear to me now. Great teaching.

[@happypiano4810]

@@alojaairewele9288Correct. Some follow the Sages, who instituted these prayers as replacement in the meantime.

[@zahavailan3782]

Wow great explanation!

[@majopmful]

Vayikra starts with burnt offering... So I realize : fear of the Hashem is the beginning of the wisdom.

Ha’Shem means “The Name”, “The Name” is YaH, as in HalleluYAH “Praise ye YaH” Here is the Original Semitic Text.

@@Praise___YaH The derivative of the tetragrammaton is היה הווה and יהיה, which means “he was, he is, and he will be”.

[@happypiano4810]

@@Praise___YaH He uses the Tetragrammaton there. The Two-letter name isn’t used in Exodus 3 at all.

[@happypiano4810]

Also, vav means more than just nail. Vav is a hook, or even a walking stick. If you’re interested in the gematria, there are plenty of interesting resources.

Yirmayahu 7:21-23 suggests that burnt sin offerings were not mandatory! Which verses in Vayikra actually mandate the burnt offerings for involuntary sin? 21. So says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel; Add your burnt offerings upon your sacrifices and eat flesh. 22. For neither did I speak with your forefathers nor did I command them on the day I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning a burnt offering or a sacrifice. 23. But this thing did I command them, saying: Obey Me so that I am your God and you are My people, and you walk in all the ways that I command you, so that it may be well with you. We can also consider that there are multiple places throughout the Tanach which suggest that burnt offerings for sin atonement should be ceased in favor of prayer, repentance, and charity.

[@happypiano4810]

Kind of? He didn’t command them about the laws of offerings when they left Egypt. That is true. He commanded them later, in the wilderness of Sinai.

[@peterbuckley1794]

My burnt offering (the list)

[@Frank-ky8bk]

I don't understand why this sacrificial system was even considered to be practiced by the ancient Jews. God reveals himself as a tyrant and demands that the people make a never ending litany of sacrifices to him. I would have said no.

[@happypiano4810]

What other choice is there? The creator of the entire universe commands something. We are but a speck of dust. How could we EVER say no?

[@marymciver6026]

God doesn’t want offerings anymore who wants your heart you want your soul I will never go by Noah hide laws

[@capwerohrer]

This didn't say anything about the Noah hide laws and its always been about the heart. So I'm not sure what you are getting at???

[@gcolwill]

The Noachide laws don't require the sacrifices discussed here. Further, if you listen to the descriptions of the three levels of sacrifice, the speaker's contention is that they are all about mind, heart and soul. Respect, love and awe are all products of mind, heart and soul. If you are sincerely trying to understand sacrifices, the video on Parshat Tzav (the Torah portion following this one) might be more helpful to you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHy1gqaJjs-Bf8U
