In today's message from Malachi 2:10–16 and 3:16–18, we see how Judah's broken marriages—marked by unfaithfulness, selfish ambition, and betrayal—had shattered their witness to the nations and ruptured their covenant with God. Instead of showcasing the beauty of life with Yahweh, their divorces and faithlessness displayed contempt for God's name and defiled His purpose for marriage. Yet through the promise of the Book of Remembrance and the coming Redeemer, God holds out hope—not only to restore broken marriages, but to restore His covenant with His people through Christ. Jesus, the true Bridegroom, comes not to condemn but to refine and redeem: to melt anger, heal wounds, and birth new covenant love where human love has failed.
(Malachi 1:1-2, 6-8) When you withhold your best from God, it is never just about money or offerings—it is a test of your trust in His love. The people of Malachi's day lived in disappointment and scarcity, doubting God's care, which led them to offer blemished sacrifices and guarded hearts. Their actions declared: “God isn't worth my best, and I have to take care of myself.” But the heart of worship is not about surplus—it's about faith. God's unchanging love, proven supremely at the cross, calls us to trust Him even when resources feel thin. True sacrifice flows from being convinced again of the Father's abundant love. Bring your best—not because you must, but because you know His heart is more than enough.

Blemished Sacrifices --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/levi-greenberg/message
After presenting the command forbidding offering blemished animals as sacrifices, the Torah adds (Vayikra 22:5), “U'mi'yad Beneh Nechar Lo Takribu Et Lehem Elokechem Mi'kol Eleh” – that we may not offer such animals as sacrifices even if they are brought by non-Jews. We might have thought that although a Jew is not permitted to offer a blemished animal as a sacrifice, the Kohanim are allowed to accept such an animal sacrifice from a gentile. Gentiles are permitted to bring voluntary sacrifices to the Bet Ha'mikdash (“Nedarim” and “Nedabot”), and we might have assumed that the Torah's strict standards for our sacrifices, disqualifying a blemished animal, do not apply to gentiles. The Torah therefore clarified that even when a gentile offers a sacrifice, it must be unblemished. In order to maintain the people's sense of awe and reverence toward the Bet Ha'mikdash and the sacrifices, the Torah demands that all animals brought as sacrifices – even those offered by gentiles – must be unblemished. All 73 physical blemishes which disqualify an animal sacrifice when brought by a Jew likewise disqualify an animal sacrifice brought by a gentile. A Kohen who offers a blemished animal sacrifice brought by a gentile is liable to Malkut for transgressing this prohibition. This command brings to mind the famous, tragic story told by the Gemara in Masechet Gittin (55b-56a) of Bar-Kamsa, who became incensed when he was violently driven from a party to which he was mistakenly received an invitation. In order to avenge his humiliation, he schemed to arouse the Roman emperor's ire at the Jews by falsely reporting to him that the Jews were planning a revolt. To verify his charge, Bar-Kamsa advised the emperor to send an animal to Jerusalem to be offered as a sacrifice in the Bet Ha'mikdash on his behalf. As the animal was being transported to Jerusalem, Bar-Kamsa made a blemish in the animal which disqualified it as a sacrifice according to Torah law, but not according to the Roman pagan tradition. (The Gemara brings two opinions – that Bar-Kamsa either slit the animal's lip, or slit its eyelid.) The Rabbis debated whether or not they should offer the animal, as some argued that the animal should be sacrificed despite the blemish, in order to avoid tensions with the Roman government. In the end, however, the decision was made to refuse to offer the sacrifice. The emperor viewed this refusal as compelling evidence of the Jews' disloyalty, and this ultimately led to the destruction of the Bet Ha'mikdash. The Maharal of Prague (Rav Yehuda Loew, 1520-1609) raises the question of why the Jews were not upfront with the emperor, and did not simply explain to him that they could not offer the sacrifice because it was blemished en route to Jerusalem. Seemingly, they could have avoided this problem altogether by explaining the situation, and asking the emperor to send a new animal which they would happily sacrifice. The Maharal answers that there was a more fundamental issue at stake. The Romans insisted that the Bet Ha'mikdash belonged to everyone equally, to Jews and gentiles alike, all of whom have the same level of access to the sacred domain. If the emperor would have heard that the Jews refused to offer his animal because it had a blemish which disqualified it according to Jewish law, even though it did not disqualify the animal according to the rules of Roman paganism, he would have been enraged. In his mind, he had the same rights in the Bet Ha'mikdash as the Jews, and so an animal which he deemed suitable should be offered. In truth, the Maharal explains, the gentiles receive the spiritual benefits of the Bet Ha'mikdash only because of the Jews' service there, and thus the gentiles' animal sacrifices must adhere to the same standards as the Jews' sacrifices. Telling this to the emperor would have aroused his ire, and thus the Jews did not have the option of avoiding tensions by asking the emperor to send a different animal. Developing this point further, the Maharal writes that the gentiles have no authority whatsoever over the Bet Ha'mikdash, and did not even have the power to destroy it. As the Gemara (Sanhedrin 96b) states, “Kimha Tehina Tehinat” – when the Romans destroyed the Bet Ha'mikdash, it was as if they were grinding finely-ground flour. The Bet Ha'mikdash was already destroyed because of the Jews' misdeeds, specifically, the sin of Sin'at Hinam (baseless hatred among the people). It is not the enemy nations who destroy the Bet Ha'mikdash, but rather the Jewish People, through their wrongdoing. The gentiles have no connection to the Bet Ha'mikdash, despite the right they are given to offer sacrifices, and it only our sins which lead G-d to send them to destroy the Mikdash.
The Torah commands in Parashat Emor (Vayikra 22:22), “Ve'isheh Lo Titenu Me'hem Al Ha'mizbe'ah L'Hashem” – that it is forbidden to place on the altar blemished animal sacrifices. This refers to the “Emurin” – the fats and other parts of the animal sacrifice which are normally placed on the altar. Animals with a physical blemish are disqualified for use as sacrifices, and in this verse the Torah forbids placing the “Emurin” of such animal sacrifices on the altar. Separate commands, as we have seen, forbid consecrating an animal with a physical blemish, slaughtering such an animal, and sprinkling its blood on the altar. Of course, this prohibition applies only when the Bet Ha'mikdash stands, when there is an altar upon which sacrifices are placed. The reason for this command, as explained in regard to previous Misvot, is that the Torah wants to ensure that we look to the Bet Ha'mikdash and the sacrifices with reverence and esteem. Offering blemished animals as sacrifices would lower its esteem in the people's eyes, and so the Torah forbade offering such animals as sacrifices.
The Torah commands in Parashat Emor (Vayikra 22:22) that is forbidden to sacrifice blemished animals – “Lo Takribu Isheh L'Hashem.” This verse is understood as introducing specifically the prohibition against slaughtering a blemished animal as a sacrifice. The Torah assigns separate prohibitions for the various stages of sacrificing a blemished animal, and this verse establishes the prohibition against slaughtering. The Sefer Ha'hinuch clarifies that one transgresses this prohibition only if he slaughters a blemished animal with the specific intent that it should be a sacrifice. Even if the animal was consecrated as a sacrifice, nevertheless, one who slaughters it does not violate this command if he has some other intent, such as to consume its meat. It is only if one slaughtered it as a sacrifice that he transgresses this prohibition. This prohibition applies even nowadays, even though there is no Bet Ha'mikdash. Since an animal can be consecrated as an animal even in the absence of a Bet Ha'mikdash, one who slaughters a consecrated blemished animal as a sacrifice even nowadays transgresses this command.
The Torah in Parashat Emor (Vayikra 22:22) lists several physical blemishes that disqualify an animal as sacrifice, and then commands, “Lo Takribu Eleh L'Hashem” – that such animals may not be sacrificed to G-d. The Gemara in Masechet Temura (6) interprets this verse as referring to specifically the sprinkling of the animal's blood after slaughtering. Separate commands prohibit other stages of the sacrificial process, but this verse introduces a prohibition against sprinkling the blood of a blemished animal sacrifice on the altar. Therefore, if an animal was consecrated and had a blemish, and after it was slaughtered, somebody sprinkled its blood on the altar, he would be liable to Malkut for transgressing this command. Of course, as the Sefer Ha'hinuch notes, this prohibition applies only in the time of the Bet Ha'mikdash, when sacrifices were offered.
