Right now we are learning about Vayikra. What do we know about Vayikra?
Vayikra gets right into it right from the fist passuk, וַיִּקְרָא אֶל מֹשֶׁה וַיְדַבֵּר when Hashem tells Moshe to speak to the people of Bnai Yisroel about the korbanot.
Doesn't this seem a bit abrupt? It just kind've starts talking about Korbanot out of nowhere.
When last the Torah left off - "For the
cloud of the Lord was upon the Mishkan by day, and there was fire within
it at night, before the eyes of the entire house of Israel in all their
journeys. (Exodus 40:38)"- it was talking about the Mishkan. I suppose, then, talking about korbanot isn't totally random now.
Okay, I really don't know what to write about. This post is so off that I couldn't even pick good colors. Well, I shall leave some questions for you people if you wish to comment:
________________________________________________________________
How do you think this Sefer should have started off?
Do you think the Torah goes into too much detail about korbanot? How much is too much?
Why do you think the haftorah for Vayikra is Isaiah?
I have decided that even though korbanot are all so weird, it is nice to know that the jews have rules that make sense and aren't just random. they are explained. there are always different answers to look at, but you won't ever not have an answer.
ReplyDeletesome might say that this means the torah isn't true because there are so many answers, but think: if there were a group of people who wanted to make this stuff up, wouldnt they make less mistakes and have less contradicting ideas? therefore, we love korbanot.
this is a bit of a kerfluffled answer, ay?
hello!
ReplyDeletei always enjoy looking at your posts racheli. they are always so funny and colorful! im going to try to answer your questions but i am totally taking a guess here. Firstly, i would like to say that i think it is interesting that there is a lot of detail about Koranot because we do have to know how the people brought Korbanot and what exactly was done. I think taht all of us just get really annoyed with the topic because it doesnt relate to our lives today at all and some might react by saying " why do i have to learn about this if its not even done today? why should i care" i think taht even though the details of how the Korban is brought doesnt directly apply to our lives there are many overarching themes that we can learn from bringing Korbanot.
