Summary
This week's parashah returns us to the daily korbanot, the sacrifices that were offered every single day in the Bet HaMikdash. At first glance, these verses can seem distant from our lives. We no longer have the Temple, no longer bring offerings, and yet our Sages teach that the essence of the korban was never merely the animal upon the altar. Drawing on a remarkable teaching from the Ba'al HaTanya in Likkutei Torah, we explore how every Jew still offers a korban each day—through the three garments of the soul: our thoughts, our words, and our actions. The challenge is no longer to place an animal on the altar, but to place our own passions, ambitions, and desires before HaShem, allowing the 'lower fire' within us to be transformed by the 'higher fire' of holiness. This class is lovingly dedicated in honor of two very special birthdays. To my beloved daughter, Mariyah, may HaShem continue to bless you with abundant health, happiness, wisdom, and every success, and may you and your beautiful family continue to be a source of pride and blessing for Klal Yisrael. And to my dear friend, Abie, wishing you many more years of good health, joy, nachat from your family, and continued blessings in all that you do. May HaShem grant you both many long years, filled with His kindness, and may we all merit to see the day when the fire once again descends upon the Mizbe'aḥ in the rebuilt Bet HaMikdash, bimherah beyameinu. Amen.
