Kli Yakar on Vayikra (1) - A Sweet Start

from Kli Yakar on the Parsha · host Moshe Rapps

The Torah tells us that it is forbidden to bring se’or (chametz) and honey (i.e. fruit) to the Mikdash. But there are 2 exceptions - the Korban Shtei HaLechem is chametz, and the Bikkurim include fruit. What’s the problem with bringing se’or and honey? And if they are so bad, why are there times where they are accepted? Listen to this episode to hear the Kli Yakar’s profound explanation, which is relevant not just to korbanos but also contains a relevant message for all of us.
