Shnayim Yomi - Vayikra - Rishon - #1- Rabbi Dani Staum

[Music] So now we separate the boys from the menikra which begins. It's not stories but the lessons are so beautiful and so magnificent. But like everything in life it depends. If you're just trying to get through it it's going to be very tedious and very difficult. But if you step into it and try to understand the differences in the carbonos and it takes time and maybe years it becomes a very enriching and very beautiful experience and even can fill a person with a yearning for the begins which Rashi says of is an expression of love. Many people translate carbonos as sacrifices. Many mafar point out that's not a correct translation. A carbon is not a sacrifice. carbon is an offering. It's a difference between the time I'm taking to do my IRS uh bills or taxes. That's a sacrifice. I have to sacrifice my time because I don't want to get in trouble. I'm going out with my wife or going out with one of my children. That's I'm not sacrificing my time. I'm offering my time and I'm getting more from it than she is hopefully in enriching and building the relationship. And that's the idea of the carbonos. The first carbon that the Torah discusses imola carbono is a carbon. The literal translation of the word ol is elevation. Carbonola could be bought as a donation. It could be bought as an atonement for sinful thoughts for a ver. And also every yiff of the year the pes. There was an ol which was brought together with the schlamim which was used to eat the meat. Schlamim was brought from a zar. An ola was bought from a zah or a male and it could be bought from cattle, could be bought from sheep, from goats. And the Torah lists them separately. The Torah first discusses if you if you bring it from cattle, from an ox. And then the Torah discusses what the would be if you brought it from a sheep or a goat. The first step of every carbon particularly for the carbon that's the Torah begins with is that the owner leans with all of his weight on the head of the animal and he says vid he confesses the sin that he's giving it for the which incidentally doesn't have to be done by a coh it's strangely enough could be done even by a nonco but the next step which is which is catching the blood and walking with the blood over to From there on in that must be done by a coen and which is the most important part which is sprinkling the blood on the carbonola was skinned and it was cut into pieces and it was fully burnt. That's what a means. It's an elevation an elevation offering because it was fully burnt. A non-Jew is allowed to bring a carbon. The Torah says that the the the my house the B mikdash is for all people a nonju can bring an offering to the B mikdash but only in which was fully given over toad that's the sense of the connection between a nonju and hashem is that I fully give myself over that full sense of of devotion and that's the opening that the Torah discusses in vayikra and parasikra [Music]
