But Is It A Sacrifice ?

When we approach the idea of korbanos we first think of the translation - sacrifices. A sacrifice is an act of self deprivation for a greater good or cause. Pretty accurate, but not entirely. You see, in a sacrifice the recipient is more needy or deserving of the item which we deprived ourselves of. It is in this point that the analogy between korbanos and sacrifices fails.

Hashem does not need our sacrifices - but we need to make them.

Let us take a few moments to study the different types of korbanos and see the different ways to draw close to Hashem. And the different occasions which call for them.
