Rabbi Sacks: Violence and the Sacred Tzav - Covenant & Conversation 5775 on Ethics 28 March, 2015 / 8 Nisan 5775
Why sacrifices? To be sure, they have not been part of the life of Judaism since the destruction of the Second Temple, almost 2,000 years ago. But why, if they are a means to an end, did God choose this end? This is, of course, one of the deepest questions in Judaism, and there are many answers. Here I want explore just one, first given by the early fifteenth century Jewish thinker, R. Joseph Albo (Spain, 1380-1444), in his Sefer ha-Ikkarim.
