Studying and Sacrifices – virtual vs. practical

Review of the Parasha „Zaw“: The sages teach us that one who studies the laws of any korban considers it as having sacrificed it himself. But while a „virtual“ sacrifice, learning, uplifts people, actual sacrifices uplift the whole world. This is precisely why physical sacrifices are superior to virtual sacrifices – or to put it another way: prayer and learning have never replaced actual sacrifices, but are subordinate to them. The „Rebbe“ says: „Only the physical sacrifice, which includes all aspects of creation – the human (the priest who makes the sacrifice, the animal (the sacrifice itself), the plant (the wood of fire) and the mineral (the salt added to all sacrifices) – uplifts the world in its entirety.“ Therefore, he emphasizes, it is of the utmost importance always to try to find a tangible and tangible way to express the spiritual insights we gain So that they may uplift not only us but the whole world It will always be of central importance, therefore, how Moshe offered his Korbanot to establish Aharon and his sons, which included ascension offerings, sin offerings and peace offerings.
