Vayikra – Offering

with Rabbi Benny Rapoport

As we open the book of Leviticus, we find that it is dedicated in large part to describing the sacrificial service that took place in the Tabernacle and later on, in the holy Temples in Jerusalem.

How can we understand, or even relate to this ancient practice of animal sacrifice? How can we, in our generation, living in a modern world, appreciate and even find personal significance in this ancient ritual that was actually – the premier service in the holy temple?

Tune into this week's Parshah Cast and uncover a beautiful lesson that will help us bring purpose and direction to our daily lives.

That's an offer that comes with no sacrifice!
