Shiur from Rabbi Elimelech Kohn Ztl on \\u05e4\\u05e8\\u05e9\\u05ea \\u05e9\\u05de\\u05d9\\u05e0\\u05d9 .\\xa0

Discussed:

\\n
    \\n
  • Understanding the concept behind Korbonos, and why Ahron brought a Korbon Chattas for himself and a Korbon Olah for Klal Yisrael to atone for the \\u05d7\\u05d8\\u05d0 \\u05d4\\u05e2\\u05d2\\u05dc (sin of the Golden Calf).
  • \\n
  • The Malbim writes that each person represents a mini-Mishkan. Man's Avoda is to sacrifice his animalistic nature, paralleling the Kohen's Avoda in the Bais Hamikdash.
  • \\n
  • The Kli Yakir explains, based on a Medrash, how Machlokes and jealousy (\\u05de\\u05db\\u05d9\\u05e8\\u05ea \\u05d9\\u05d5\\u05e1\\u05e3) lead to Avoda Zara (\\u05d7\\u05d8\\u05d0 \\u05d4\\u05e2\\u05d2\\u05dc).\\n\\n\\n
