All the sacrifices rooted in the same purpose, to get closer to Hashem. However, today we no longer have a temple, so what are our new means of creating a relationship with Hashem?
1. Prayer- Through tefillot- prayer- we can replace the daily sacrifices that were done previously in the temple. Each prayer service- total of 3 daily- replace the 3 daily sacrifices that were made during temple times.
2. Studying the laws of sacrifices- By studying the sacrificial laws, Hashem grants that person with the same merit as He does the person who actually makes the sacrifices (we see the power of in-depth Torah study).
3. Repentance- By doing sincerely heartfelt teshuva- repentance- the same degree of atonement is made as from the sacrifices that were once given.
4. Torah study- By devoting yourself to intense Torah study, the spiritual impact of Torah studying is so vast, it is considered as greater than any the sacrifices.
luv this..thank you for the inspiration!!
