Hello my dear fellow classmates,
This week I continued to work with Sade. Just to keep you in the loop of our teamwork, I would like to inform you that we finished reading the Pesukim on Parashat Vayikrah and Tzav. Then we moved on and read Rabbi Leibtag’s article. Correction: Sade sped through the packet with her speed reading while I was sitting there shocked at how fast she can move her lips to formulate words… =/ Anyway, in Rabbi Leibtag brought forth a very important question: does Hashem need Korbanot? I know everyone is probably so sick of that question but I would like to think what you guys have to say. Rabbi Leibtag claims that Hashem doesn’t need Korbanot but that we need to bring them to Him in order to show our loyalty and love for Hashem. What do you think about that?
I think we are all going to have to just live with that because the majority of the people keeping saying that. Do we agree? Not so much, no.
ReplyDeleteHowever, something interesting- in his article it said somewhere that you could bring flour instead of an animal for ethical reasons.
So that is comforting at least.
I am sure you like Rabbi Leibtag because of this Zahava since you were so troubled with this, I am glad he said that so you can sleep at night!
ReplyDeleteI also think that he is very right, since like praying, it is not for God, but for us and so too is bringing a Korban the same idea.
