b"Rabbi Aryeh Klapper is Dean of the Center for Modern Torah Leadership, Rosh Beit Midrash of its Summer Beit Midrash Program and a member of the Boston Beit Din.Rabbi Klapper is a widely published author in prestigious Hebrew and English journals. He is frequently consulted on issues of Jewish law from representatives of all streams of Judaism and responds from an explicit and uncompromised Orthodox stance.In this Shiur,Rabbi Klapper, uses an Aggadic Talmud text from Mesechet Yoma,and relevant passages from the Rambam's Moreh Nevuchim as his basis to explain Avodas HaKorbonos as a way to return to the spiritual sublimity of Gan Eden.He develops in a compelling way what God's reason was in commanding animal slaughter and burning,rooting it in primal human longing for awakened physical /emotional stimulus.He masterfully uses principles garnered from Sir James George Frazer and Marion Zimmer Bradley to explain the Torah's stringency in not allowing cut stones,and its prohibition of a Kohen ascending to the altar with steps-and provides an eye-opening insight into the laws of Temurah as well.Through the Shiur,there are fascinating reflections on Maimonides's true conception of what our Avodas Hashem can yet transform into come the Messianic times,as well as references to Rav Kook's suggestion of Korbon Mincha only future.The Yeshiva of Newark @IDT is proud to partner with Rabbi Klapper to help spread his scholarly thoughtful ideas and Halachic insight to as wide an audience as possible .Please visithttp://www.torahleadership.org/for many more articles and audio classes from Rav Klapper and to find out about his Summer programs as well as Rabbi Klapper's own podcast sitehttps://anchor.fm/aryeh-klapper.Please leave us a review or email us at ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
