Shnayim Yomi - Tzav - Chamishi - #5 - Rabbi Yehoshua Sova - Serving Hashem Through Sacrifice

In the fifth aliyah, we find that Mosher Rabenu is Makt. He brings us a sacrifice as an offering all of the the residual fats of the animal. The question is why do we need to take the residual fats? We could dispose of it any other way. Why specifically do we burn it? So I saw a beautiful a beautiful idea from the labbarb says the following. He says what is what does fat represent? He says fat represents something that is extraneous extra and something that also is very good. People will tell you that when they like to add like to give a little shmear a little butter it up make it with a little fat people think it tastes very good when you add those those elements to something it has a certain element that makes things taste good things glide and go smoothly. So therefore says [snorts] Moshe was willing to give up all the pleasurable things that he had to hashem to say Hashem I'm willing to sacrifice for you. A person has to ask themsself what is it that they're willing to sac you have to tells us you should eat bread just with a simple fair just with salt and you should be able to drink water from a simple cup does that mean we have to say no it doesn't mean we have to he's saying you have to be prepared that maybe you will need to do that that's the way a person makes a if you're willing to sacrifice for Hashem Hashem considers that you make the sacrifice. We have to ask ourselves what is it that we are willing to sacrifice for Hashem. And if a person is able to do that, it'll give a person a good idea how to recalibrate and how they can get closer to serving Hashem.
