Behar-Bechukosai 5786 - Built Into the System

from Mussar HaTorah · host Aaron Benedict

Why did Hashem require every Jewish family to bring an animal to Jerusalem and consume it there? Unlike other tithes that care for the needy, the animal tithe seems to serve no obvious social purpose. In this episode, we explore a stunning insight from the Sefer HaChinuch, brought by Rav Yechezkel Weinfeld, shlit"a, that reveals the hidden educational genius behind this mitzvah. The journey to Jerusalem wasn't just about an offering — it was Hashem's way of ensuring that every Jewish family would have its own Torah teacher. Discover the two powerful obligations this mitzvah places on each of us, and how they remain as relevant today as they were in the time of the Beis HaMikdash. This is a public episode.
