אתר ישיבה / yeshiva.coWhat Do We Sacrifice?
We would expect to read “when one of you offers a sacrifice.” Instead, it says “when one offers a sacrifice of you.” The essence of sacrifice is that we offer ourselves.
  • Ketoret, Tzara’at, and Uziya
    We will try to prove now that tzara’at is also the result of lacking between man and his fellow man. At first glance, this is almost a trivial task, as Chazal teach us that the main cause of tzara’at is lashon hara, one of the most basic interpersonal sins.
  • Fire: Holy and Unholy
    The holy is that segment of time and space God has reserved for His Presence. Creation involves concealment. About Nadav and Avihus death.
  • Eat to Survive
    Most human beings know that they eat to survive, but there are many, especially in Western society today, that survive to be able to eat. It becomes almost logical that the Torah, would suggest and ordain for us a list of foods that somehow would prove harmful to our spiritual health.
  • The “Eighth” Wonder
    The “8th day” was the day when the Mishkan was permanently erected, the day that the Kohanim started their service of bringing the offerings, the 1st of Nisan. With so many amazing events happening all at once, why does the Torah cryptically choose to refer to this day as “the 8th day?”
  • Which Tablet Was Broken After Cheit Ha’egel?
    Why does Aharon bring A Chatat on the 8th day? and what does this have to do with the half A Sekel contribution and the selling of Joseph?
  • The Korbanot – Are They for G-d, or for Us?
    There is a lot to learn from these korbanot, because the Torah is eternal & nothing in it can be at all insignificant. So let’s see what kernels we can garner
  • An Unusual Haftarah
    Why do we read the haftarah that we do this week? What does parshas Tzav have to do with Shabbos Hagadol? What is Purim Meshulash and what does it have to do with this week’s parsha?
  • Violence and the Sacred
    What is the reason for giving animal sacrifices? And what does this have to do with Noah, Kain & Abel?
  • A Long Run
    Over the centuries, very few innovations have been able to attract more worshipers or more Jews, to be of true spiritual value and of lasting quality and interest.
  • Is Keeping the Old Going New?
    Our parasha introduces the idea of an “eternal flame,” which, contrary to what many think, was not on the menora but on the larger mizbe’ach (altar) upon which most of the korbanot were brought.
