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.
The Torah commands in Parashat Emor (Vayikra 22:20), “Kol Asher Bo Mum Lo Takribu” – that we may not offer a blemished animal as a sacrifice. This verse is understood as forbidding not just the actual sacrificing of a blemished animal, but even the “Hakdasha” – the verbal consecration of such an animal. Simply declaring a blemished animal sacred as a sacrifice transgresses this prohibition. The Sefer Ha'hinuch writes that this prohibition applies in all places and in all times, even nowadays. Although we are unable to offer sacrifices without the Bet Ha'mikdash, nevertheless, the consecration itself transgresses this command, and thus one can violate this prohibition even nowadays, when we do not have the Bet Ha'mikdash. The Sefer Ha'hinuch writes that it would appear, at first glance, that one who violates this prohibition by consecrating an animal would not receive Malkut, as this prohibition seemingly falls under the category of “Lav She'en Bo Ma'aseh” – a prohibition which is not violated by committing an action. After all, this prohibition is transgressed by making a verbal pronouncement, declaring the animal sacred, without performing a concrete act. Violations which do not entail an action are not punishable by Malkut, and thus, we would assume, this prohibition, too, is not punishable by Malkut. Surprisingly, however, the Rambam, in Hilchot Issureh Mizbe'ah (1:12), writes that one who consecrates a Ba'al Mum (blemished animal) is, in fact, liable to Malkut. The Sefer Ha'hinuch suggests that the Rambam perhaps likened this case to that of Temura – when one declares the transfer of sanctity from a consecrated animal to a different animal, which the Torah forbids. The prohibition of Temura marks an exceptional instance of a violation which is committed verbally but is nevertheless punishable by Malkut. The Sefer Ha'hinuch speculates that the Rambam perhaps understood that this exception extends to all situations of a forbidden consecration, and thus includes the case of consecrating a Ba'al Mum. In the end, the Sefer Ha'hinuch writes that he feels that consecrating a Ba'al Mum should not be punishable by Malkut, but nevertheless, he humbly submits to the view of the Rambam, “Ki Malach Hashem Seva-ot Hu” – because he is like “an angel of the G-d of Hosts” (based on Malachi 2:7). In discussing this prohibition, the Sefer Ha'hinuch writes that one transgresses this command by consecrating blemished animals “Le'hakribam La'mizbe'ah” – “to offer them on the altar.” This would seem to imply that one violates this command only if he consecrates a Ba'al Mum as a sacrifice, and not if he consecrates it for its value, meaning, for the purpose of selling it and using the money for a sacrifice. However, the Minhat Hinuch comments that the Sefer Ha'hinuch's formulation here is imprecise, for in truth, one violates this prohibition even by consecrating a Ba'al Mum for its value. The Minhat Hinuch explains that consecrating a Ba'al Mum is disrespectful to the service in the Bet Ha'mikdash even if the animal itself is not offered as a sacrifice, and is instead sold for money which is then used to purchase a sacrifice. To prove this point, the Minhat Hinuch cites sources indicating that one violates this prohibition if he consecrates a blemished goat to be used as the “Se'ir Ha'mishtale'ah” on Yom Kippur. This is the goat which was sent out into the desert and cast from a cliff to symbolize the banishment of the nation's misdeeds. Although this goat is not offered as a sacrifice, nevertheless, one who consecrates a Ba'al Mum for this purpose transgresses this prohibition. This demonstrates that consecrating a Ba'al Mum is forbidden even without the intent of offering this animal as a sacrifice.
Anything less than full acceptance of Christ is nothing more than a blemished sacrifice. Sunday 11th September 2022. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vikki-semple/message
Blemished animals are disqualified for sacrificial use. This aliyah also forbids the castration of animals, sacrificing animals before they are eight days old, and slaughtering a mother animal and her child on the same day. The aliyah concludes with the mitzvah of kiddush Hashem, sanctifying G‑d's Name by giving one's life rather than transgressing certain cardinal sins.

Open: An AutobiographyAuthor: Andre AgassiBuy Open on AmazonLink to transcript of the full book review: www.everythingathletes.com/everything-athletes-book-reviews-open-by-andre-agassiFavorite quotes from the book:Page 8 - “Tennis is the sport in which you talk to yourself. No athletes talk to themselves like tennis players. Pitchers, golfers, goalkeepers, they mutter to themselves, of course, but tennis players talk to themselves - and answer...why? Because tennis so damned lonely. Only boxers can understand the loneliness of tennis players - and yet boxers have their corner men and managers…Tennis is the closest to solitary confinement.”19 - “...he plays with desperation, a more powerful drug than cortisone.” (about his opponent) 20 - “I win the next point. Deuce again. Elation. I give him the next point. Backhand into the net. Advantage Baghdatis. Depression.”25 - “People often ask what it’s like, this tennis life, and I can never think how to describe it. But that word comes closest. More than anything else, it’s a wrenching, thrilling, horrible, astonishing whirl.”29 - “I like the feeling of hitting a ball dead perfect. It’s the only peace. When I do something perfect, I enjoy a split second of sanity and calm.” 38 - “...I’ll now have a loss on my record - forever. Nothing can ever change it. I can’t endure the thought, but it’s inescapable: I’m fallible. Blemished. Imperfect. A million balls hit against the dragon - for what?”62 - (after losing) “I look into the stands for my father, and he’s staring down, concerned. Not angry - concerned. I’m concerned too, but damned angry also, sick with self-loathing...I say hateful things to myself as I pack my tennis bag.”90 - (talk with his friend about rigged carnival games to win a teddy bear prize) “Nah. You just have to toss two rubber rings around the neck of a Coke bottle. We’re athletes. We’ve got this.” 127 - “What if today wasn’t a bad day, but my best day? I think I’d rather die.”130 - “People, I think, don’t understand the pain of losing in a final. You practice and travel and grind to get ready. You win for one week, four matches in a row. Then you lose that final match and your name isn’t on the trophy, your name isn’t in the record books. You lost only once, but you’re a loser.”132 - “I laugh more than I’ve laughed since I was a boy, and even though it’s tinged with hysteria, the laughter has healing properties. For a few hours, late at night, laughter makes me feel like the old Andre, whoever that is.”206 - “I’ve always noticed the way players silently anoint the alpha dog in their midst, the way they single out the one player who’s feeling it, who’s likeliest to win. At this tournament, for the first time, I’m that player. I feel them all watching me in the locker room. I feel them noting my every move, the little things I do, even studying how I organize my bag. They’re quicker to step aside when I walk by, eager to give up the training table. A new degree of respect is directed toward me, and while I try not to take it seriously, I can’t help but enjoy it.”218 - “Every day this loss feels new. Every day I tell myself to stop thinking about it, and every day I can’t. The only respite is fantasizing about retirement.”231 - “This is the only perfection there is, the perfection of helping others. This is the only thing we can do that has any lasting value or meaning. This is why we’re here. To make each other feel safe.”255-256 - “A look of pure relief, and gratitude, and joe, washes over her face, and in this look, in this courageous little girl, I find the thing I’ve been seeking, the philosopher’s stone that unites all the experiences, good and bad, of the last few years. Her suffering, her resilient smile in the face of that suffering, my part in easing her suffering - this, this is the reason for everything. How many times must I be shown? This is why we’re here. To fight through the pain and, when possible, to relieve the pain of others. So simple. So hard to see.”226 - “Besides, it’s always easier psychologically to lose in the semis than in the final.” 272 - “I’ve been cheered by thousands, booed by thousands, but nothing feels as bad as the booing inside your own head during those ten minutes before you fall asleep.”304 - “I raise my arms and my racket falls on the clay. I’m sobbing. I’m rubbing my head. I’m terrified by how good this feels. Winning isn’t supposed to feel this good. Winning is never supposed to matter this much. But it does, it does, I can’t help it.” 304 - “Without Nick I wouldn’t be here. Without all the ups and downs with Brooke, even the misery of our final days, this wouldn’t be possible. I even reserve some gratitude for myself, for all the good and bad choices that led here.”
